A gas cylinder with a total volume of 1.000 L is divided initially by a movable piston into two compartments of equal volumes. One compartment contains 0.817 g argon. The other compartment is filled with 2.018 g neon. Assume perfect gas behavior for both gases and isothermal conditions at T= 298.0 K. A. Explain why the system is not in mechanical equilibrium. B. For both gases, determine the expansion/compression work (in Joules) if the piston moves reversibly into its equilibrium position. INPUT your answer (work by the expanding gas) HERE in 3 significant figures. Do not forget the + or - sign. Exclude the units.
