Question:

A rigid, perfectly insulated container has a membrane dividing its volume in half. One side contains a gas at an absolute temperature T0 and pressure p0 , while the other half is completely empty. Suddenly a small hole develops in the membrane, allowing the gas to leak out into the other half until it eventually occupies twice its original volume. In terms of T0 and p0 , what will be the new temperature and pressure of the gas when it is distributed equally in both halves of the container? Explain your reasoning.
