**Educational Scenario: Gas Expansion in an Insulated Rigid Tank**

**Description:**

In the depicted scenario, an insulated rigid tank is initially divided into two equal sections by a partition. One section contains an ideal gas with specified initial conditions, and the other section is evacuated. When the partition is removed, the gas expands to occupy the entire volume of the tank.

**Initial Conditions (State 1):**
- Ideal Gas
- Temperature: \( T_1 \)
- Pressure: \( P_1 \)
- Volume: \( V_1 \)
- Mass: \( m \)

The other section is evacuated and contains no gas.

**Final Conditions After Expansion (State 2):**
- Ideal Gas
- Temperature: \( T_2 = ? \)
- Pressure: \( P_2 = ? \)
- Volume: \( V_2 = 2V_1 \)

**Task:**
Identify the correct expression for the work done by the gas.

**Options:**
- **A.** \( W_b = P_1 V_1 \)
- **B.** \( W_b = 2P_1 V_1 \)
- **C.** \( W_b = \frac{1}{2} (P_1 + P_2) (V_2 - V_1) \)
- **D.** \( 0 \)

The correct answer needs to be selected based on the understanding of thermodynamics principles related to an insulated system.
