Two gases are separated by an impermeable but movable and conducting p...
Explanation:
Thermal-mechanical equilibrium is achieved when two gases are separated by an impermeable but movable and conducting partition in an isolated container. In this type of equilibrium, both gases have the same temperature and pressure. The partition is movable, which means that it can move and adjust its position to equalize the pressure on both sides. The conducting nature of the partition allows for the transfer of heat between the two gases, which ensures that they have the same temperature.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Thermal-chemical equilibrium would refer to a situation where two gases are in contact with each other and have the same temperature and chemical potential.
- Chemical-mechanical equilibrium would refer to a situation where two gases are in contact with each other and have the same pressure and chemical potential.
- Thermodynamic equilibrium would refer to a situation where a system is in mechanical, thermal, and chemical equilibrium.
In summary, the correct answer is B. Thermal-mechanical equilibrium, as it accurately describes the situation where two gases are separated by an impermeable but movable and conducting partition in an isolated container.
