Question
to what fraction of its original volume , V final/V initial must a 0.50-mole sample of ideal gas be compressed at a constant tempature for cahnge in s sys to be -3.5 J/K
. please answer thouroghly with showing all work so i can follow with final answer present. thanks
Explanation / Answer
Entropy change = -nR ln (P2/P1)= - 3.5 J/K
n= number of moles
When temperature remains constant P2= final pressure and P1= initial pressure and P2/P1= V1/V2
= - n Rln (V1/V2)=-3.5
0.5*8.314 ln (V1/V2)= 3.5
4.16 ln (V1/V2)= 3.5
ln(V1/V2)= 3.5/4.16=0.8413
V1/V2= 2.32
V2/V1= 1/2.32= 0.43
