Homework Statement
Consider a rectangular isolated(non-conducting) chamber as shown below. The chamber is divided into three compartments. The wall separating A and B has negligible mass, no friction and is conducting, while the wall separating B and C has negligible mass and friction and is non-conducting.
Initially each compartment has the same amount of air at temperature T, volume V and pressure P. Now compartment A is slowly heated through a heater such that the final volume of C becomes 49V. Now my question is that once equilibrium is attained can I assume that each compartment would have the same pressure? According to the answer given in my book the final pressure in A and C are the same however in B has different pressure. Is this possible?
Homework Equations
PV=nRT
The Attempt at a Solution
since at equilibrium there is to be no movement of walls hence pressure should be the same in all the three chambers[/B]
