Halliday, Resnick & Walker β Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics: Problem 1
Suppose 4.00 mol of an ideal gas undergoes a reversible isothermal expansion from volume \(V_1\) to volume \(V_2 = 2.00V_1\) 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 expansion is reversible and adiabatic instead of isothermal, what is the entropy change of the gas?
