Cylinders,
(b).
As there is no work done by or on the system, also there is no heat interaction, therefore internal energy of the system remains the same.
(c).
The expansion of the gas is not due to any external work done on the system and hence, temperature of the system will not change.
(d).
Free expansion is a very fast process and it cannot be controlled. As the intermediate states are non-equilibrium states, hence they can’t be on the
