प्रश्न
Two cylinders A and B of equal capacity are connected to each other via a stopcock. A contains a gas at standard temperature and pressure. B is completely evacuated. The entire system is thermally insulated. The stopcock is suddenly opened. Answer the following:
Do the intermediate states of the system (before settling to the final equilibrium state) lie on its P-V-T surface?

उत्तर १
No. The given process is a case of free expansion. It is rapid and cannot be controlled. The intermediate states do not satisfy the gas equation and since they are in non-equilibrium states, they do not lie on the P-V-T surface of the system.
उत्तर २
The expansion is a free expansion. Therefore, the intermediate states are non-equilibrium states and the gas equation is not satisfied in these states. As a result, the gas cannot return to an equilibrium state which lies on the P-V-T surface.
