प्रश्न
Two cylinders A and B of equal capacity are connected to each other via a stopcock. A contains a gas at standard temperature and pressure. B is completely evacuated. The entire system is thermally insulated. The stopcock is suddenly opened. Answer the following:
Do the intermediate states of the system (before settling to the final equilibrium state) lie on its P-V-T surface?
उत्तर १
No. The given process is a case of free expansion. It is rapid and cannot be controlled. The intermediate states do not satisfy the gas equation and since they are in non-equilibrium states, they do not lie on the P-V-T surface of the system.
उत्तर २
The expansion is a free expansion. Therefore, the intermediate states are non-equilibrium states and the gas equation is not satisfied in these states. As a result, the gas cannot return to an equilibrium state which lies on the P-V-T surface.

Figure shows a cylindrical tube of volume V with adiabatic walls containing an ideal gas. The internal energy of this ideal gas is given by 1.5 nRT. The tube is divided into two equal parts by a fixed diathermic wall. Initially, the pressure and the temperature are p1, T1 on the left and p2, T2 on the right. The system is left for sufficient time so that the temperature becomes equal on the two sides. (a) How much work has been done by the gas on the left part?
