11.Thermodynamics
medium
A closed container is fully insulated from outside. One half of it is filled with an ideal gas $X$ separated by a plate Pfrom the other half $Y$ which contains a vacuum as shown in figure. When $P$ is removed, $X$ moves into $Y$. Which of the following statements is correct?

A
No work is done by $ X$
B
$X$ decreases in temperature
C
$X$ increases in internal energy
D
$X$ doubles in pressure
Solution
Work done by a gas is given by$:$
$w=\int P d V$
Work done by $x$ is against vacuum, hence $P=0$
$w=\int P d V=\int 0 d V=0$
Hence no work is done by or done on $x$.
