Objects `A` and `B` that are initially separated from each other and well isolated from their surroundings are then brought into thermal contact. Initially `T_(A) = 0^(@)C` and `T_(B) = 100^(@)C` . The specific heat of `A` is less than the specific heat of `B`. After some time, the system comes to an equilibrium state. the final temperatures are:

A

`T_(A) = T_(B) gt 50^(@)C`

B

`T_(A)gt T_(B)gt 50^(@)C`

C

`T_(A) = T_(B) lt 50^(@)C`

D

`T_(B)gtT_(A) gt 50^(@)C`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Two identical systems, with heat capacity at a constant volume that varies as C_(v) = bT^(3) (where b is a constant) are thermally isolated. Initially, one system is at a temperature 100 K and the other is at 200K. The systems are then brought to thermal contact and the combined system is allowed reach thermal equilibrium. If T_(0)^(4)=nxx10^(8) then what will be the value of n, where T_(0) is the final temperature in kelvin?

Two rigid boxes containing different ideal gases are placed on a table. Box A contains one mole of nitrogen at temperature T_0 , while Box contains one mole of helium at temperature (7/3)T_0 . The boxes are then put into thermal contact with each other, and heat flows between them until the gasses reach a common final temperature (ignore the heat capacity of boxes). Then, the final temperature of the gasses, T_f in terms of T_0 is
