Question

1. Calculate the change in entropy when 27 kJ of energy is transferred reversibly and isothermally as heat to a large block of iron at (a) 10°C, (b) 50°C.

2. Calculate S (for the system) when the state of 2.00 mol of perfect gas atoms, for which Cp,m = 5/2R,is changed from 20°C and 1.00 atm to 125°C and 4.00 atm. How do you rationalize the sign of S?

3. Consider a system consisting of 2.0 mol CO2(g), initially at 25°C and 12 atm and confined to a cylinder of cross-section 10.0 cm2. It is allowed to expand adiabatically against an external pressure of 1.0 atm until the piston has moved outwards through 20 cm. Assume that carbon dioxide may be considered a perfect gas with CV,m = 28.8 J K1 mol1 and calculate (a) q, (b) w, (c) U, (d) T, (e) S.

Explanation / Answer

1- delta S = Q /T

a)= 27 x 10^3 J/ 283K = 95.406J/K

b) delta S=27x10^3 J/323K = 83.59 J/K

2-n= 2mol , Cpm= 5/2R

T1= 293K , T2 = 398K

P1=1atm , P2 = 4atm

TdS =dH - VdP

dS = dH/T -V/T dP

from ideal gas law

PV=RT=> V/T = R/P

dH/T =Cp => dH=CpdT

putting these value in above equation & on interigation

dS = Cp/T dT - R/P dP

delta S = Cp ln T2/T1 - R ln P2/P1 = 5/2R ln 398/293 - R ln 4/1 = 5/2R x 0.3060 - R x 1.38=1.53R - 2.76R=-1.23R

S = n*s = 2x -0.0821x1.23 =- 0.201966

intropy is meaer of disoderness.-ve sign indicate decrease in intropy.
