Introduction to Entropy changes: Free Expansion of a Gas

<body>
A hole was created in the barrier which now allows the particles, originally confined in the compartment on the right, to also move (expand into) the compartment on the right. Run the simulation to see what happens.
Does their energy change when this happens? Why does this happen? Do you expect the particles to reverse their trajectory and all go back into the first compartment AT THE SAME TIME? Why or why not?
