Two thermally insulated vessels 111 and 222 are filled with air at temperatures (T1,T2),\left( {{T_1},{T_2}} \right),(T1​,T2​), volume (V1,V2)\left( {{V_1},{V_2}} \right)(V1​,V2​) and pressure (P1,P2)\left( {{P_1},{P_2}} \right)(P1​,P2​) respectively.

Correct answer: A

  1. Given two thermally insulated vessels containing the same ideal gas (air).

    Initial states:

    • Vessel 1: (P1,V1,T1)(P_1, V_1, T_1)(P1​,V1​,T1​)
    • Vessel 2: (P2,V2,T2)(P_2, V_2, T_2)(P2​,V2​,T2​)

    The vessels are rigid and insulated, so:

    • No heat exchange with surroundings: Q=0Q=0Q=0
    • Total volume remains constant: V=V1+V2V=V_1+V_2V=V1​+V2​
    • No external work is done
  2. Use conservation of internal energy

    For an ideal gas, internal energy depends only on temperature: U=nCVTU=nC_VTU=nCV​T

    Since the system is isolated, Uinitial=UfinalU_{\text{initial}}=U_{\text{final}}Uinitial​=Ufinal​

    Let final equilibrium temperature be TTT.

    Then, n1CVT1+n2CVT2=(n1+n2)CVTn_1 C_V T_1 + n_2 C_V T_2 = (n_1+n_2) C_V Tn1​CV​T1​+n2​CV​T2​=(n1​+n2​)CV​T

    Cancelling CVC_VCV​, n1T1+n2T2=(n1+n2)Tn_1T_1+n_2T_2=(n_1+n_2)Tn1​T1​+n2​T2​=(n1​+n2​)T

    Hence, T=n1T1+n2T2n1+n2T=\frac{n_1T_1+n_2T_2}{n_1+n_2}T=n1​+n2​n1​T1​+n2​T2​​

  3. Express mole numbers using ideal gas equation

    n1=P1V1RT1,n2=P2V2RT2n_1=\frac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}, \qquad n_2=\frac{P_2V_2}{RT_2}n1​=RT1​P1​V1​​,n2​=RT2​P2​V2​​

    Substitute into the expression for TTT: T=(P1V1RT1)T1+(P2V2RT2)T2P1V1RT1+P2V2RT2T=\frac{\left(\frac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}\right)T_1+\left(\frac{P_2V_2}{RT_2}\right)T_2}{\frac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}+\frac{P_2V_2}{RT_2}}T=RT1​P1​V1​​+RT2​P2​V2​​(RT1​P1​V1​​)T1​+(RT2​P2​V2​​)T2​​

  4. Simplify

    In the numerator: (P1V1RT1)T1=P1V1R,(P2V2RT2)T2=P2V2R\left(\frac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}\right)T_1=\frac{P_1V_1}{R}, \qquad \left(\frac{P_2V_2}{RT_2}\right)T_2=\frac{P_2V_2}{R}(RT1​P1​V1​​)T1​=RP1​V1​​,(RT2​P2​V2​​)T2​=RP2​V2​​

    So, T=P1V1+P2V2RP1V1RT1+P2V2RT2T=\frac{\frac{P_1V_1+P_2V_2}{R}}{\frac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}+\frac{P_2V_2}{RT_2}}T=RT1​P1​V1​​+RT2​P2​V2​​RP1​V1​+P2​V2​​​

    Cancelling 1/R1/R1/R, T=P1V1+P2V2P1V1T1+P2V2T2T=\frac{P_1V_1+P_2V_2}{\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}+\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}}T=T1​P1​V1​​+T2​P2​V2​​P1​V1​+P2​V2​​

    Multiply numerator and denominator by T1T2T_1T_2T1​T2​: T=T1T2(P1V1+P2V2)P1V1T2+P2V2T1T=\frac{T_1T_2(P_1V_1+P_2V_2)}{P_1V_1T_2+P_2V_2T_1}T=P1​V1​T2​+P2​V2​T1​T1​T2​(P1​V1​+P2​V2​)​

  5. Match with options

    This is exactly: T1T2(P1V1+P2V2)P1V1T2+P2V2T1T_1T_2\frac{(P_1V_1+P_2V_2)}{P_1V_1T_2+P_2V_2T_1}T1​T2​P1​V1​T2​+P2​V2​T1​(P1​V1​+P2​V2​)​

    So the correct option is A.

  6. Check other options briefly

    • B: T1+T22\frac{T_1+T_2}{2}2T1​+T2​​ only if mole numbers are equal, not in general.
    • C: dimensionally wrong as equilibrium temperature cannot be simple sum.
    • D: denominator is incorrect; it does not follow from energy conservation.

Final Answer: Option A.
