Consider the given diagram. An ideal gas is contained in a chamber (left) of volume V and is at an absolute temperature T. It is allowed to rush freely into the right chamber of volume V which is initially vacuum. The whole system is thermally isolated. What will be the final temperature of the system after the equilibrium has been attained? |

Answer» `T ` Now , given , `P_(i) = P , V_(i) = V , P_(f) = P//2 , V_(f) = 2V, T_(i) = TP_(i) V_(i) = nRT rArr PV = nRT ` Now , `P_(f) V_(f) = n RT_(f) rArrP/2 xx 2V = nRT_(f)` `rArr PV = nRT_(f) rArr nRT = nRT_(f)` ` rArrT_(f) = T ` ` :. ` Initial and final TEMPERATURE of the system remains same after the equilibrium has been attained as the system is not doing any work at the time of free expansion `(i.e., Delta U = 0 )`. |
