In the figure,a container is shown to have a movable (frictionless) piston on top. The container and the piston are made of perfectly insulating material,allowing no heat transfer between the outside and inside. The container is divided into two compartments by a rigid partition made of a thermally conducting material that allows slow heat transfer. The lower compartment is filled with $2$ moles of an ideal monatomic gas at $700 \ K$,and the upper compartment is filled with $2$ moles of an ideal diatomic gas at $400 \ K$. The heat capacities per mole are: for monatomic gas,$C_v = \frac{3}{2} R, C_p = \frac{5}{2} R$; for diatomic gas,$C_v = \frac{5}{2} R, C_p = \frac{7}{2} R$.
$1.$ Consider the partition to be rigidly fixed so that it does not move. When equilibrium is achieved,the final temperature of the gases will be:
$(A) 550 \ K$ $(B) 525 \ K$ $(C) 513 \ K$ $(D) 490 \ K$
$2.$ Now consider the partition to be free to move without friction so that the pressure of gases in both compartments is the same. Then the total work done by the gases until they achieve equilibrium will be:
$(A) 250 \ R$ $(B) 200 \ R$ $(C) 100 \ R$ $(D) -100 \ R$
Give the answer for questions $1$ and $2$.
