In the figure, the container is sealed at both ends and is insulated against heat exchange. The partition is also insulated and can move on frictionless bearings. Initially, each compartment contains 4.0 x 10-2 m3 of monatomic ideal gas at 0oC and 1 atm pressure.
(a) How many moles of gas are in each compartment?
(b) We apply a mechanical force to the partition and slide it to the right until the pressure of gas B is 2 atm. What is the new temperature of gas B?
(c) We remove the insulation from the extreme left end and add heat to gas A until it too is at 2 atm pressure. What is its new temperature?
(d) How much heat was added?
