Two gases are in contact with each other so heat can flow between them. Assume no heat loss to surrounding. One gas is hot and the other gas is cold initially. Identify what happened to gases after the equilibrium condition?
  1. The particles in the cold gas will have slowed in their rate of movement.
  2. The particles in the hot gas will have increased their rate of movement.
  3. The temperature of the cold gas will have decreased
  4. The temperature of the hot gas will have decreased

Solution

In order to achieve equilibrium, heat from hotter gas starts flowing to the cold gas until their temperatures become the same. Therefore, due to the heat loss temperature of hot gas will have decreased.
