A rigid insulated tank is divided into 2 equal compartments by a thin rigid partition. One of the compartments contains air, assumed to be an ideal gas at 800 kPa and 300 K. The other compartment is under a vacuum. The partition is suddenly broken and the air rushes into the evacuated compartment. The tank pressure and temperature eventually equilibrate.

a. Define the system you will use and draw a labeled schematic.
b. Write the energy balance for the system, making simplifications as appropriate.
c. What is the final temperature of the gas, K?
d. What is the final pressure, kPa?
