A thermally insulated container initially contains N molecules of an ideal monatomic gas at an absolute temperature of T. Molecules escape from the container through holes in the wall, and it can be shown that such process at temperature t, the average kinetic energy of escaping molecules is 2kt. How many molecules remain in the container when their temperature falls by half?
