A thermally well insulated, frictionless piston with initial volume V. contains 2.0 moles of an ideal gas. The temperature of the system at all time is T K. Then the piston is pulled until the volume of the gas is doubled. This expansion process is a reversible process. (a) Do the gas velocity distribution and internal energy of the gas change by the expansion? Justify your answer. (b) Determine the change in entropy of the gas.
