- The original poster indicates some familiarity with Part a but expresses uncertainty about the remaining parts of the problem. Participants inquire about the results for Part a and suggest considerations for Part b, including the calculation of internal energy changes and work done during volume changes.
Discussion Status
The discussion is ongoing, with participants offering guidance on the need for demonstrating effort before receiving assistance. There is an acknowledgment of the complexity of the exercise, and some participants are seeking clarification on how to approach the problem.
Contextual Notes
There is a mention of imposed guidelines regarding the demonstration of effort, which may affect the level of assistance provided. The discussion also hints at the necessity of understanding equations related to adiabatic reversible expansion of ideal gases.

Just to be sure, please tell us your results for part a.
In part b, they pretty much tell you how to bring about the change. Suppose you displace the piston to the right by a volume change ΔV. Do you know how to calculate the change in internal energy of each of the chambers, or the amount of work done by the piston on the gas in either chamber to bring about these volume changes? (I assume you have learned the equations for an adiabatic reversible expansion of an ideal gas.)

Hello duc, welcome to PF. 
Interesting exercise. Is there anything we can do for you ?
If you would like some assistance, please follow the guidelines. For mortals it's an infraction to assist folks who don't demonstrate an effort to attempt a solution.
