For an ideal gas, an illustration of three different paths A, (B+C) and (D+E) from an initial state P1, V1, T1 to a final state P2, V2, T1 is shown in the given figure. Path
A represents a reversible Isothermal expansion from
P1,
V1 to
P2,V2. Path
(B+C) reperesents a reversible adiabatic expansion
(B) from
P1V1,
T1 to
P3,
V2,
T2 followed by reversible heating the gas at constant volume
(C) from
P3,
V2,
T2 to
P2,
V2,
T1. Path
(D+E) represents a reversible expansion at constant pressure
P1(D) from
P1,
V1,
T1 to
P1,
V2,
T3 followed by a reversible cooling at constant volume
V2(E) from
P1,
V2,
T3 to
P2,
V2,
T1. What is
ΔS for path
(D+E)?
