Question

A partition divides a container having insulated walls into two compartments I and II. The same gas fills the two compartments, with initial parameters $P, V, T$ in I and $2 P, 2 V, T$ in II (Figure 3.91). The partition is a conducting wall which can move freely without friction. Which of the following statements is/are correct, with reference to the final equilibrium position?

TestHub · Accepted Answer

At equilibrium the pressures are equal and, with the conducting wall, so are the temperatures ( T ). Moles are in ratio P V : 4 P V = 1 : 4 , so V I ​ = 5 3 V ​ and V II ​ = 5 12 V ​ . P = 3 V 5 P V ​ = 3 5 P ​ . All four are correct.
