Q2 Question 2 1 Point Consider a container that is split into two equal volumes by a barrier (see figure below). On the left of the barrier is one mole of neon gas (Ne). On the right of the barrier is one mole of helium gas (He). What would happen if the barrier was removed and the gases were allowed to mix? 1 mole Ne 1 mole He Removable Barrier O A. Initially, the pressure on the left is greater than the pressure on the right, because neon has a higher molecular weight than helium. When the barrier is removed, the pressure will slowly equalize as the gases mix. O B. Initially, the pressure on the right is greater than the pressure on the left, because helium atoms move faster than neon atoms at the same temperature. When the barrier is removed, the pressure will slowly equalize as the gases mix. O C. Initially, the pressure on the two sides is equal, because the temperature and number of moles of gas are the same on each side. When the barrier is removed, a temporary pressure gradient will be produced because the helium will spread out faster than the neon, reducing the pressure on the right. This will very quickly be resolved as the neon also spreads out over the full container. O D. Initially, the pressure on the two sides is equal, because the temperature and number of moles of gas are the same on each side. When the barrier is removed, a temporary pressure gradient will be produced because the neon will spread out faster than the helium, reducing pressure on the right. This will very quickly be resolved as the helium also spreads out over the full container. O E. Initially, the pressure on the two sides is equal, because the temperature and number of moles of gas are the same on each side. When the barrier is removed, the gasses will mix at the same rate, and the pressure will stay constant in all areas of the container at all times.
