A thermally insulated container is divided into two parts by a screen. In one part the pressure and temperature are

P

and

T

for an ideal gas filled. In the second part it is vacuum. If now a small hole is created in the screen, then the temperature of the gas will

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

Remain same

Option C (Remain same) is correct because the process is a free expansion into a vacuum, which is an irreversible adiabatic process with no work done and no heat exchange, resulting in no change in temperature for an ideal gas.
