Question
If the piston of a container is pushed fast inward. Will the ideal gas equation be valid in the intermediate stage? If not, why?
Solution
When the piston is compressed so quickly that there is no time to exchange heat to the surrounding, the temperature of the gas increases rapidly. In this intermediate stage, the ideal gas equation is not valid. Because this equation can relate the pressure, volume and temperature of the thermodynamic system at equilibrium.

An insulated container of gas has two chambers separated by an insulating partition. One of the chambers has volume V1 and contains ideal gas at pressure P1 and temperature T1. The other chamber has volume V2 and contains ideal gas at pressure P2 and temperature T2. If the partition is removed without doing any work on the gases, calculate the final equilibrium temperature of the container.
