A non-conducting cylinder having volume 2V0 is partitioned by a fixed non-conducting wall in two equal parts. Partition is attached with a valve. The right side of the partition is a vacuum and the left part is filled with a gas having pressure and temperature P0 and T0 respectively. If the valve is opened find the final pressure and temperature of the two parts.
