Chapter 18, Problem Q18.8

(choose chapter or problem)

A rigid, perfectly insulated container has a membrane dividing its volume in half. One side contains a gas at an absolute temperature \(T_0\) and pressure \(p_0\), while the other half is completely empty. Suddenly a small hole develops in the membrane, allowing the gas to leak out into the other half until it eventually occupies twice its original volume. In terms of \(T_0\) and \(p_0\), what will be the new temperature and pressure of the gas when it is distributed equally in both halves of the container? Explain your reasoning.
