Question:

A closed box contains 20 particles, 10 on each side of a movable partition. The particles in the left compartment are small and occupy a volume \(\delta V_{\text {left. }}\). Those in the right compartment are larger and occupy a volume \(\delta V_{\text {right }}=8 \delta V_{\text {left }}\).

(a) If the box dimension along which the partition moves is \(1.00 \mathrm{~m}\) long and the partition starts out pushed far to the right, what is the position of the partition when the system reaches equilibrium?

(b) Does it matter what volume the particles occupy?
