Problem

A sealed, thermally insulated container holds 0.80 mol of an ideal gas at 300 K in one half of its volume; the other half is a vacuum. When a membrane between the halves is ruptured, the gas freely expands to fill the entire container. Assume the gas temperature remains 300 K. Calculate the change in entropy of the gas during this expansion.
