Questions  

A thermally insulated container is divided into two parts by a screen. In one part the pressure and temperature are P and T for an ideal gas filled. In the second part, it is vacuum. If now a small hole is created in the screen, then the temperature of the gas will

a
decrease
b
increase
c
remain same
d
none of these

detailed solution

Correct option is C

In second part there is a vacuum, i.e., P = 0. So work done in expansion = PΔV = 0. Also , ∆Q = 0. From the first law of thermodynamics,ΔU = 0 i.e., temperature of an ideal gas remains same due to free expansion.
