2. a) A membrane divides a rigid, well-insulated 2 m tank into two equal parts. The left side contains an ideal gas (Cp = 30 J/mol.K) at 10 bar and 300 K. The right side contains nothing; it is a'vacuum. A small hole forms in the membrane, gas slowly leaks out from the left side, and eventually equilibrium is attained. What are the equilibrium temperature and pressure?

Question
2. a) A membrane divides a rigid, well-insulated 2 m tank into two equal parts. The left side contains an
ideal gas (Cp = 30 J/mol.K) at 10 bar and 300 K. The right side contains nothing; it is a'vacuum. A small
hole forms in the membrane, gas slowly leaks out from the left side, and eventually equilibrium is attained.
What are the equilibrium temperature and pressure?
b) You have 0.4 mol of gas A within a piston-cylinder assembly. The initial pressure is 20 bar, and the
initial temperature is 675 K. The system then undergoes an adiabatic process where the piston expands
against constant external pressure of 1 bar until the forces balance. What is the final temperature of the
system? How much work is done during the process?
