An insulated container is divided into two equal portions. One portion contains as ideal gas at pressure `P` and tenperature `T`. The othe portion is a perfect vaccume. If a hole is opened between the two portions, claculate
a. the change in internal energy.
b. the change in temperature.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The system being thermally insulated, `q = 0`. The gas expands through the hole in other portion is show free expansion, i.e.
`w =- int P DeltaV = 0` (Since, `P = 0)`
Also from the first law of thermodynamics,
`q = DeltaU +w`
Since, `q = 0, w = 0 ( :' DeltaU = 0)`
Also internal enegry `U = 3//2 RT`. Since, the internal enegry remains same `( :' DeltaU = 0)`, thus the temperature will also remain constant.

A masslesss piston divides a closed thermallyy insulated cylinder into two equal parts. One part contains M = 28 g of nitrogen. At this temperature, one-third of molecules are dissociated into atoms and the other part is evacuated. The piston is released and the gas fills the whole volume of the cylinder at temperature T_(0) . Then, the piston is slowly displaced back to its initial position. calculate the increases in internal energy of the gas. Neglect further dissociation of molecules during, the motion of the piston.
