An insulated cylinder is initially divided into halves by africtionless, thermally conducting piston. On one side of thepiston is 1 m3 of a gas at 300 K, 2 bar. On the otherside is 1 m3 of the same gas at 300 K, 1 bar.The pistonis released and equilibrium is attained, with the pistonexperiencing no change of state. Employing the ideal gas model forthe gas, determine

(a) the final temperature, in K.

(b) the final pressure, in bar.

(c) the amount of entropy produced, in kJ/K.
