The piston of a frictionless piston-cylinder apparatus shown in Figure Q1 is fixed with a pin at a location dividing the cylinder into two equal volumes of 0.5 m². One of the compartments is filled with air at a temperature of 300 K and pressure of 1.5 MPa, and the other is nitrogen at 300 K and 0.2 MPa. Suddenly the pin fixing the piston is set free and the system reaches a temperature of 300 K when the thermodynamic equilibrium is established. Find the mass, pressure and volume of each gas at the equilibrium state. Air TAI 300 K PAI=1.5 MPa VAI=0.5 m³ I Nitrogen TBI 300 K PBI=0.2 MPa VBI=0.5 m³ The piston of a frictionless piston-cylinder apparatus shown in Figure Q1 is fixed with a pin at a location dividing the cylinder into two equal volumes of 0.5 m².
