A container of volume 
is divided into two equal compartments by a partition. One of these compartments contains an ideal gas at 300 K. The other compartment is vacuum. The whole system is thermally isolated from its surroundings. The partition is removed and the gas expands to occupy the whole volume of the container. Its temperature now would be
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
This is the case of free expansion and in this case 
, 
so temperature remains
same i.e. 300 K.
