Consider the two-sided chamber shown,where the right half has a volume of V = 490 L and the left half has a volume of 2V. The chamber has a seal which separates the right from the left half. The chamber is sealed and an ideal gas is pumped into the right side at a pressure P = 3.2 atm and temperature T = 72° C. The seal between the two sides is then opened. (A) If the physical temperature decreases by a factor of 2 while the gas fills the chamber, what is the new pressure, in kilopascals? (B) The chamber is then sealed again, trapping 2/3 of the gas molecules in the left side. The temperature of the left side is then doubled, back to the original temperature T. What is the pressure in the left side of the chamber now, in kilopascals?
