Halliday, Resnick & Walker β Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics: Problem 45
45 Suppose 2.00 mol of an ideal gas undergoes a reversible isothermal compression from volume \(V_1\) to volume \(V_2 = 0.500V_1\) at temperature \(T = 400 \text{ K}\). Find (a) the work done by the gas and (b) the entropy change of the gas. (c) If the compression is reversible and adiabatic instead of isothermal, what is the entropy change of the gas?
