Question

Suppose 4.00 mol of an ideal gas undergo a reversible isothermal expansion from volume V1 to volume V2=2.00V1 at temperature T = 400 K. Find the entropy change of the gas. If the expansion is reversible and adiabatic instead of isothermal,what is the entropy change of the gas?

Solution

The correct option is A 23.05JK,0JK
The correct answer is 23.05JK,0JK
W=nRTlnV2V1=4×8.31×400×ln2.0V1V1=9216J
ΔS=fidQT
For isothermal process: T=constant
ΔS=QT;ΔEint=QW=0Q=W
Hence,
ΔS=WT=9216400=23.05JK1
If the expansion is reversible and adiabatic,
Q=0ΔS=0JK1
