Problem

A partition divides a container having insulated walls into two compartments, I and II. The same gas fills the compartments with the following initial parameters. The partition is a conducting wall that can move freely without friction. Which of the following statements are correct with reference to the final equilibrium position?

Compartment	Initial pressure	Initial volume	Initial temperature
I	$P$	$V$	$T$
II	$2P$	$2V$	$T$

(a) The pressure in the two compartments is equal. (b) Volume of compartment I is

\frac{3V}{5}

. (c) Volume of compartment II is

\frac{12V}{5}

. (d) Final pressure in compartment I is

\frac{5P}{3}
