8 1 Point A Cylindrical Container 76 Cm Long Is Separated Into Two Compartments By A Movable Partition That Is Originall 1 (32.04 KiB) Viewed 37 times

8 1 point A cylindrical container 76 cm long is separated into two compartments by a movable partition that is originally clamped in position 43 cm from the right end. The right compartment is initially filled with one liter (i.e., 0.001m3) of helium gas at a pressure of 5 x 106 Pa. The left compartment is filled with argon gas at 1x 106 Pa of pressure. Both of these gasses may be considered ideal. The cylinder is submerged in 10 liters of water and the entire system is initially at the uniform temperature of 306 K. When the piston is unclamped, a new equilibrium situation is ultimately reached with the piston in a new position. The entire system is thermally and mechanically isolated and you may ignore the heat capacities of the cylinder and the piston. How far (in cm) from the right end of the cylinder will the piston come to rest? The solution of the problem relies upon the fact that the pressures of the gasses must be the same at equilibrium.
