An isolated box is divided into two equal compartments by a partition (see figure). One compartment contains a van der Waals gas while the other compartment is empty. The partition between the two compartments is now removed. After the gas has filled the entire box and equilibrium has been achieved, which of the following statement(s) is (are) correct?ย 

1
Internal energy of the gas has not changed.
2
Internal energy of the gas has decreased.
3
Temperature of the gas has increased.
4
Temperature of the gas has decreased.
