The volume, pressure and temperature of ...

The volume, pressure and temperature of some amount of a gas are V, p and T, respectively. A partition divides the gas into two equal parts. What will be the values of the quantities in each part?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The volume V is an extensive property. So the volume of each half would be `V/2`. But the pressure p and the temperature T are intensive properties. So they remain unaltered, i.e., the values of these quantities in each half of the gas will be p and T.
