JEE MainPhysicsHeat and ThermodynamicsMCQ+4 / −1
An insulated container of gas has two chambers separated by an insulating partition. One of the chambers has volume V1{V_1}V1​ and contains ideal gas at pressure P1{P_1}P1​ and temperature T1{T_1}T1​. The other chamber has volume V2{V_2}V2​ and contains ideal gas at pressure P2{P_2}P2​ and temperature T2{T_2}T2​. If the partition is removed without doing any work on the gas, the final equilibrium temperature of the gas in the container will be

Correct answer: A

  1. Key idea: insulated container and no work done

    The container is insulated, so Q=0Q=0Q=0 and the partition is removed without doing external work, so W=0.W=0.W=0.

    Therefore, for the total gas system, ΔU=Q−W=0.\Delta U=Q-W=0.ΔU=Q−W=0.

  2. Internal energy of an ideal gas

    For an ideal gas, internal energy depends only on temperature: U=nCVT.U=nC_VT.U=nCV​T.

    Hence, initial total internal energy equals final total internal energy.

  3. Initial moles in the two chambers

    Using the ideal gas equation, n1=P1V1RT1,n2=P2V2RT2.n_1=\frac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}, \qquad n_2=\frac{P_2V_2}{RT_2}.n1​=RT1​P1​V1​​,n2​=RT2​P2​V2​​.

  4. Initial total internal energy

    Assuming the same ideal gas is present in both chambers, with the same constant CVC_VCV​, Ui=n1CVT1+n2CVT2.U_i=n_1C_VT_1+n_2C_VT_2.Ui​=n1​CV​T1​+n2​CV​T2​.

    Substitute n1,n2n_1,n_2n1​,n2​: Ui=P1V1RT1CVT1+P2V2RT2CVT2U_i=\frac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}C_VT_1+\frac{P_2V_2}{RT_2}C_VT_2Ui​=RT1​P1​V1​​CV​T1​+RT2​P2​V2​​CV​T2​ Ui=CVR(P1V1+P2V2).U_i=\frac{C_V}{R}(P_1V_1+P_2V_2).Ui​=RCV​​(P1​V1​+P2​V2​).

  5. Final internal energy

    After removing the partition, total moles are n=n1+n2=P1V1RT1+P2V2RT2.n=n_1+n_2=\frac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}+\frac{P_2V_2}{RT_2}.n=n1​+n2​=RT1​P1​V1​​+RT2​P2​V2​​.

    If final equilibrium temperature is TfT_fTf​, then Uf=(n1+n2)CVTf.U_f=(n_1+n_2)C_VT_f.Uf​=(n1​+n2​)CV​Tf​.

    So, Uf=CVTf(P1V1RT1+P2V2RT2).U_f=C_VT_f\left(\frac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}+\frac{P_2V_2}{RT_2}\right).Uf​=CV​Tf​(RT1​P1​V1​​+RT2​P2​V2​​).

  6. Apply conservation of internal energy

    Since Ui=UfU_i=U_fUi​=Uf​, CVR(P1V1+P2V2)=CVTf(P1V1RT1+P2V2RT2).\frac{C_V}{R}(P_1V_1+P_2V_2)=C_VT_f\left(\frac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}+\frac{P_2V_2}{RT_2}\right).RCV​​(P1​V1​+P2​V2​)=CV​Tf​(RT1​P1​V1​​+RT2​P2​V2​​).

    Cancel CVR\frac{C_V}{R}RCV​​: P1V1+P2V2=Tf(P1V1T1+P2V2T2).P_1V_1+P_2V_2=T_f\left(\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}+\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}\right).P1​V1​+P2​V2​=Tf​(T1​P1​V1​​+T2​P2​V2​​).

    Therefore, Tf=P1V1+P2V2P1V1T1+P2V2T2.T_f=\frac{P_1V_1+P_2V_2}{\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}+\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}}.Tf​=T1​P1​V1​​+T2​P2​V2​​P1​V1​+P2​V2​​.

    Multiply numerator and denominator by T1T2T_1T_2T1​T2​: Tf=T1T2(P1V1+P2V2)P1V1T2+P2V2T1.T_f=\frac{T_1T_2(P_1V_1+P_2V_2)}{P_1V_1T_2+P_2V_2T_1}.Tf​=P1​V1​T2​+P2​V2​T1​T1​T2​(P1​V1​+P2​V2​)​.

  7. Match with options

    This matches Option A: T1T2(P1V1+P2V2)P1V1T2+P2V2T1\boxed{\frac{T_1T_2\left(P_1V_1+P_2V_2\right)}{P_1V_1T_2+P_2V_2T_1}}P1​V1​T2​+P2​V2​T1​T1​T2​(P1​V1​+P2​V2​)​​

  8. Comparison with stored answer

    Stored correct answer: A

    Our derived answer: A

    So they agree.
