Two glass bulbs, one on the left with a volume of 2 liters and the other on the right with a volume of 6 liters, are connected to one another by a thin tube that is initially closed by a stopcock. The bulb on the left has 0.1 moles of ideal gas, and the bulb on the right is evacuated. The system is in thermal equilibrium with the surroundings at 300K. When the stopcock is opened, the gas flows out to fill both bulbs. Calculate A for this process. If we were to insert a propeller to extract work as the gas flows from left to right, what is the maximum amount of work that we could possibly extract?

Question

2) Two glass bulbs, one on the left with a volume of 2 liters and the other on the right with a
volume of 6 liters, are connected to one another by a thin tube that is initially closed by a
stopcock. The bulb on the left has 0.1 moles of ideal gas, and the bulb on the right is
evacuated. The system is in thermal equilibrium with the surroundings at 300K. When the
stopcock is opened, the gas flows out to fill both bulbs. Calculate A for this process. If we
were to insert a propeller to extract work as the gas flows from left to right, what is the
maximum amount of work that we could possibly extract?
