First law of Thermodynamics

The word thermodynamics consists of two words: thermo- and dynamics. Dynamics means the study of motion. The field of thermodynamics is all about the study of the movement of heat. In a more meaningful way, it is stated as the study of the transfer of energy. Energy transfer is something that we encounter in day-to-day life. Automobiles, chemical reactions, refrigerators, and power generators work on the basis of thermodynamic principles.

Question

An ideal gas is held in an insulated container at the temperature T.
All the gas is initially in one-half of the container, with a partition
separating the gas from the other half of the container, which is a
vacuum. If the partition ruptures, and the gas expands to fill the
entire container, what is its final temperature?

Statistical mechanics says that in a gas maintained at a constant temperature through thermal contact with a bigger system (a "reservoir") at that temperature, the fluctuations in internal energy are typically a fraction 1/N of the internal energy. As a fraction of the total internal energy of a mole of gas, how big are the fluctuations in the internal energy? Are we justified in ignoring them?

One might think that the internal energy of diatomic gases is given by Eint=5RT/2 . Do diatomic gases near room temperature have more or less internal energy than that? Hint: Their internal energy includes the total energy added in raising the temperature from the boiling point (very low) to room temperature.
Consider a cylinder with a movable piston containing n moles of an ideal gas. The entire apparatus is immersed in a constant temperature bath of temperature T kelvin.
