Problem
There is a movable divider in a closed cylindrical vessel, separating it into two chambers. One of the chambers contains 25 mg of N₂ while the second one contains 40 mg of He. Assume that the equilibrium state was attained. What is the ratio of the lengths of the chambers in the equilibrium state? Assume ideal-gas behaviour. Your answer should be less than 1.
