Two identical containers, each of volume Vₒ, are joined by a tube of negligible volume. They contain the same ideal gas at temperature Tₒ and pressure Pₒ. One container is heated to 3Tₒ while the other is kept at Tₒ. If the common pressure becomes P and n is the number of moles of gas in the container at 3Tₒ, then

Moles are conserved: 2PₒVₒ/RTₒ = PVₒ/RTₒ + PVₒ/(3RTₒ) = (4/3)(PVₒ/RTₒ), giving P = 3Pₒ/2. Moles in the hot container: n = PVₒ/(3RTₒ) = (3Pₒ/2)Vₒ/(3RTₒ) = PₒVₒ/2RTₒ. Hence (a) and (c).
