Question: The figure shows two compartments separated by a thin wall. The left side contains 0 . 0 6 mol of helium at an initial temperature

The figure shows two compartments separated by a thin wall. The left side contains 0.06 mol of helium at an initial temperature of 600 K and the right side contains 0.03 mol of helium at an initial temperature of 300 K . The compartment on the right is attached to a vertical cylinder. A 11 cm diameter, 2 kg piston can slide without friction up and down the cylinder. The volumes of the compartments are unknown. The exterior pressure is 0.9 atm .
(A) What is the final temperature?
T=
K.
(B) How much heat is transferred from the left side to the right side? (The heat lost on the left is equal in magnitude to the heat gained by the right.)
Q2=,J
(C) What is the change in height of the piston after being lifted due to this heat transfer?
y=,m
(D) What fraction of the heat is converted into work?
W2Q2=
