What can be said about the total entropy of the universe? Why is it true?
An ideal gas at temperature T is stored in the left half of an insulating container of volume V using a partition of negligible volume (see below). What is the entropy change per mole of the gas in each of the following cases? (a) The partition is suddenly removed and the gas quickly fills the entire container. (b) A tiny hole is punctured in the partition and after a long period, the gas reaches an equilibrium state such that there is no net flow through the hole. (c) The partition is moved very slowly and adiabatically all the way to the light wall so that the gas finally fills the entire container.
One mole of an ideal monatomic gas is confined to a rigid container. When heat is added reversibly to die gas, its temperature changes from T1 to T2 . (a) How much heat is added? (b) What is the change in entropy of the gas?
(a) A 5.0-kg rock at a temperature of 20 is dropped into a shallow lake also at 20 from a height of 1.0103 m. What is the resulting change in entropy of the universe? (b) If the temperature of the lock is 100 when it is dropped, what is the change of entropy of the universe? Assume that air friction is negligible (not a good assumption) and that c=860 J/kg K is the specific heat of the rock.
A diatomic ideal gas is brought from an initial equilibrium state at p1=0.50 atm and T1=300K to a final stage with p2=0.20 atm and T1=500K. Use the results of the previous problem to determine the entropy change per mole of the gas.
A great deal of effort, time, and money has been spent in the quest for a so-called perpetual-motion machine, which is defined as a hypothetical machine that operates or produces useful work indefinitely and/or a hypothetical machine that produces mole work or energy than it consumes. Explain, in terms of the first law of thermodynamics, why or why not such a machine is likely to be constructed.
A cylinder contains 500 g of helium at 120 atm and 20 . The valve is leaky, and all the gas slowly escapes isothermally into the atmosphere. Use the results of the preceding problem to determine the resulting change in entropy of the universe.
An ideal gas at 300 K is compressed isothermally to one-fifth its original volume. Determine the entropy change per mole of the gas.
Assume a sample of an ideal gas is at room temperature. What action will necessarily make the entropy of the sample increase? (a) Transfer energy into it by heat, (b) Transfer energy into it irreversibly by heat, (c) Do work on it. (d) Increase either its temperature or its volume, without letting the other variable decrease, (e) None of those choices is correct.
Discuss the change in entropy of a gas that expands (a) at constant temperature and (b) adiabatically.
Two hundred grams of water at 0 is brought into contact into thermal equilibrium successively with reservoirs at 20 , 40 , 60 , and 80 . (a) What is the entropy change of the water? (b) Of the reservoir? (c) What is the entropy change of the universe?
Two hundred joules of heat are removed from a heat at a temperature of 200 K. What is the entropy change of the reservoir?
