Question

A closed gas cylinder is divided into two parts by a piston held tight. The pressure and volume of gas in two parts respectively are (P,5V) and (10P,V). If now the piston is left free and the system undergoes isothermal process, then the volumes of the gas in two parts respectively are

Solution

The correct option is A 2V,4V
The volume on both sides will be so adjusted that the original pressure x volume is kept constant as the piston moves slowly (isothermal change)
P.5V=PV......(1)
10PV=PV′′......(2)

From (1) and (2), V′′=2V
and from V+V′′=6V
V=2V,V′′=4V
