A mechanical wave<span> is a </span>wave<span> that is an oscillation of </span>matter<span>, and therefore transfers energy through a </span>medium.[1]<span> While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the </span>medium of transmission<span>—the material—is limited. Therefore, oscillating material does not move far from its initial equilibrium position. Mechanical waves transport energy. This energy propagates in the same direction as the wave. Any kind of wave (mechanical or electromagnetic) has a certain energy. Mechanical waves can be produced only in media which possess elasticity and inertia.</span>

4.2 mol of monatomic gas A interacts with 3.2 mol of monatomic gas B. Gas A initially has 9500 J of thermal energy, but in the p
Komok [63]

Answer:

14657.32 J

Explanation:

Given Parameters ;

Number of moles mono atomic gas A ,   n 1  =  4 .2 mol

Number of moles mono atomic gas B ,   n 2  =  3.2mol

Initial energy of gas A ,   K A  =  9500  J

Thermal energy given by gas A to gas B ,   Δ K  =  600 J

Gas constant   R  = 8.314  J / molK

Let  K B  be the initial energy of gas B.

Let T be the equilibrium temperature of the gas after mixing.

Then we can write the energy of gas A after mixing as

(3/2)n1RT = KA - ΔK

⟹ (3/2) x 4.2 x 8.314 x T = 9500 - 600

T = (8900 x 3 )/(2x4.2x8.314) = 382.32 K

Energy of the gas B after mixing can be written as

(3/2)n2RT = KB + ΔK

⟹ (3/2) x 3.2 x 8.314 x 382.32 = KB + 600

⟹ KB = [(3/2) x 3.2 x 8.314 x 382.32] - 600

⟹ KB = 14657.32 J
