An isolated system-

1. is a specified region where transfers of energy and mass take place

2. is a region of constant mass and only energy is allowed to close the boundaries

3. is one in which mass within the system is not necessarily constant.

4. cannot transfer either energy or mass to or from the surroundings.

The pressure and temperature of two different gases are P and T having the volume V for each.  They are mixed keeping the same volume and temperature, the pressure of the mixture will be-                                                          [Pb. PMT 1997, 98; DPMT 1999; MH CET 2003]

A thermally insulated piston divides a container into two compartments.  Volume, temperature, and pressure in the right compartment are 2V, T, and 2P, while in the left compartment the respective values are V, T, and P.  If the piston can slide freely, then in the final equilibrium position, the volume of the right-hand compartment will be-

(1) V            (2) $\frac{3V}{5}$          (3) $\frac{9V}{4}$          (4) $\frac{12V}{5}$
