Correct answer: A
-
Key idea: insulated container and no work done
The container is insulated, so and the partition is removed without doing external work, so
Therefore, for the total gas system,
-
Internal energy of an ideal gas
For an ideal gas, internal energy depends only on temperature:
Hence, initial total internal energy equals final total internal energy.
-
Initial moles in the two chambers
Using the ideal gas equation,
-
Initial total internal energy
Assuming the same ideal gas is present in both chambers, with the same constant ,
Substitute :
-
Final internal energy
After removing the partition, total moles are
If final equilibrium temperature is , then
So,
-
Apply conservation of internal energy
Since ,
Cancel :
Therefore,
Multiply numerator and denominator by :
-
Match with options
This matches Option A:
-
Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer: A
Our derived answer: A
So they agree.
