So I thought that you had said, that heat transfer would take place (as it's a conductor) but no change in temperature, so that's why the doubt. Anyways, tysm for the help, this community is great 💫 | |

| Sep 5, 2022 at 17:19 | comment | added | Sam | @Paras Gupta Temperature doesn't stay the same, read carefully. The heat exchange causes the temperature of one chamber to drop and another to rise, but temperatures of the two chambers must come to a fixed value in the final state - the reason of which I mentioned. Heat flow occurs because of temp difference and in final state heat flow will cease only if the temp difference = 0 | |

| Sep 5, 2022 at 11:57 | comment | added | Karsten♦ | +1 for discussing the possibility of two gases having different heat capacities, and for saying that you don't need any temperature data to solve the problem, realizing the two gases will be at thermal equilibrium. Giving additional, unnecessary information in a problem makes it much more difficult for many students. | |
