Q. An ideal gas in a thermally insulated vessel at internal pressure
= P
1, volume
= V
1 and absolute temperature
= T
1 expands irreversibly against zero external pressure, as shown in the diagram. The final internal pressure, volume and absolute temperature of the gas are P
2, V
2 and T
2, respectively. For this expansion,
- T2=T1
- q=0
- P2V2=P1V1
- P2Vγ2=P1Vγ1
