Consider the given diagram. An ideal gas is contained in a chamber (left) of volume $V$ and is at an absolute temperature $T$. It is allowed to rush freely into the right chamber of volume $V$ which is initially vacuum. The whole system is thermally isolated. What will be the final temperature once the equilibrium has been attained?

  • A
    $T$
  • B
    $\frac{T}{2}$
  • C
    $2T$
  • D
    $\frac{T}{4}$
