Container X with ideal gas X is joined by a removable barrier to container Y with ideal gas Y. There are more gas X molecules than gas Y molecules. Initially, the temperature of gas X is greater than the temperature of gas Y. The barrier is then removed, allowing the two gases to mix. Which of the following explains how collisions between the gas molecules results in thermal equilibrium? A The collisions reduce the speed of all of the gas molecules until the speeds all reach the same minimum value. The collisions will sometimes transfer energy from a gas X molecule to a gas Y molecule, and sometimes transfer energy from Y to X. The final distribution of molecular speeds will result in a temperature midway between the two initial temperatures. The collisions will sometimes transfer energy from a gas X molecule to a gas Y molecule, and sometimes transfer energy from Y to X. The final distribution of molecular speeds will result in a temperature between the two initial temperatures, at a value that depends on the relative numbers of the two types of molecules.
