Review A 110 cm3 box contains helium at a pressure of 2.50 atmand a temperature of 120 ∘C. It is placed in thermal contact with a180 cm3 box containing argon at a pressure of 3.60 atm and atemperature of 420 ∘C.  

What is the initial thermal energy of each gas? Correct answer:41.8 J for He and 98.5 J for Ar

What is the final thermal energy of each gas?

How much heat energy is transferred, and in which direction?

What is the final temperature?

What is the final pressure in each box?
