Individual collisions can transfer energy either way, depending on whether the gas X or Y molecule has greater energy. The collisions will sometimes transfer energy from a gas X molecule to a gas Y molecule and sometimes 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. Gas X has more molecules, so the final temperature will be closer to the initial temperature of gas X.
Question
Individual collisions can transfer energy either way, depending on whether the gas X or Y molecule has greater energy. The collisions will sometimes transfer energy from a gas X molecule to a gas Y molecule and sometimes 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. Gas X has more molecules, so the final temperature will be closer to the initial temperature of gas X.
