An ideal gas is confined to one side of a rigid, insulated container divided by a partition. The other side is initially  evacuated. The following data are known for the initial state of gas: P1 = 5 bar, T1 = 500 K, and V1 =0.2 m3 . When  the partition is removed, the gas expands to fill the entire container, which has a total volume of 0.5 m3 . Assuming  that there is no change in the internal energy of the gas, determine the (a) pressure, in bar and the (b) product of  mass, specific gas constant and T in the final state (in kPa-?3 )

Question

An ideal gas is confined to one side of a rigid, insulated container divided by a partition. The other side is initially 
evacuated. The following data are known for the initial state of gas: P1 = 5 bar, T1 = 500 K, and V1 =0.2 m3
. When 
the partition is removed, the gas expands to fill the entire container, which has a total volume of 0.5 m3
. Assuming 
that there is no change in the internal energy of the gas, determine the (a) pressure, in bar and the (b) product of 
mass, specific gas constant and T in the final state (in kPa-?3
)
