In the figure below, two systems 
and 
are separated by an insulating fixed wall (adiabatic wall) and also insulated from surroundings by insulated wall
Choose the correct option regarding above information.
A
The pressures of 
and 
will change with time.
and will change with time. B
The temperatures of 
and 
will change with time.
and will change with time. C
The thermodynamic states of 
and 
will not change with time.
and will not change with time. D
None of the above
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Adiabatic or insulating walls do not allow flow of energy (heat) from one system to another, so no heat exchanges between systems 
and 
.
Thus, the thermodynamic states (pressure and temperature) of 
and 
will not change with time. It means both the systems will be in thermal equilibrium separately.
