Entropy Change in a Free Expansion: A Microscopic View
A thin partition divides a thermally insulated vessel into a lower compartment of volume V and an upper compartment of volume 2V. The lower compartment contains n moles of an ideal gas; the upper part is evacuated.
Part A
When the partition is removed, the gas expands and fills both compartments. How many moles n of gas were initially contained in the lower compartment if the entropy change of the gas in this free-expansion process is
17.28 J/K?
Express your answer to three significant figures.
