    Basic Thermodynamics: Gas expansion against a vacuum

    Can you explain a little bit more? Since P is known for the final state, and R is known, but neither V, v, or T is known, how would you solve for Temperature in PV = mRT or Pv = RT? Thank you for the reply.

    Basic Thermodynamics: Gas expansion against a vacuum

    Homework Statement Okay, so the problem given is that there is a rigid tank with a partition down the middle. For partition A, the specific volume, the temperature, and therefore the pressure is known. The mass, or total volume is not known. Partition B is a vacuum for which the total volume is...
