Example Problem
A well-insulated tank contains 1.0 mol of an ideal gas (Cp = 28 J/(mol K)) at 1.5 bar and 404 K. This tank is connected (by an insulated line with a valve) to an insulated, evacuated tank of the same volume. What is the temperature in each tank when the valve is opened until the pressure equalizes in the two tanks?
