1 Problem: Calculate the entropy change that results from mixing 54.0 g of water at 280 K with 27.0 g of water at 360 K in a vessel whose walls are perfectly insulated from the surroundings. Is this a spontaneous process? Consider the heat capacity of liquid water a constant over the temperature range from 280 K to 360 K and to have the value 4.18 J K -1 g -1.

2 Draw a picture Look inside the system only, and imagine the system to be in two parts, separated by a thermally conducting interface, each part doing its own system accounting of q (and w, had there been any work). Consider each part reversibly heating or cooling the other part. surr ound ings subsystem A 54 g water at 280 K subsystem B 27 g water at 360 K insulated subsystem A 54 g water at T f K subsystem B 27 g water at T f K initial final

3 q surr = 0 since insulated, no q can pass across the boundary between system and its surroundings q system = 0 since insulated, no q can pass across the boundary between system and its surroundings Recall the definitions of concepts and terms: Second law of thermodynamics, ds = ɗq rev /T definition of heat capacity: ɗq = C dt q A system = 54.0 g 4.18 J K -1 g -1 (T f -280) q B system = 27.0 g 4.18 J K -1 g -1 (T f -360) T f =?

4 q system = 0 = q A system + q B system =54.0 g 4.18 J K -1 g -1 (T f -280) g 4.18 J K -1 g -1 (T f -360) Solve for T f : T f = K ds = ɗq rev /T = CdT /T. Integrating gives ΔS A = C ln (T f /T i ) ΔS A system = 54.0 g 4.18 J K -1 g -1 ln ( /280 ) = J K -1 ΔS B system = 27.0 g 4.18 J K -1 g -1 ln (306.67/360 ) = J K -1

5 ΔS system = ΔS A system + ΔS B system = = J K -1 ΔS surr = 0 since no q passed across the insulated boundary ΔS universe = ΔS system + ΔS surr = J K -1 spontaneous process? YES because ΔS universe > 0

31 Problem: Two moles of a monatomic ideal gas begins in a state with p = 1.00 atm and T = 300 K. It is expanded reversibly and adiabatically until the volume has doubled; then it is expanded irreversibly and isothermally into a vacuum until the volume has doubled again; then it is heated reversibly and isothermally until a final state with p = 1.00 atm and T = 400 K is reached. Calculate ΔS system for this process. (Hint: There is an easy way to solve this problem and a hard way. You should, of course, choose the easy way.).

32 (1) Draw a picture ideal monatomic gas p =1.00 atm 300 K p 1 V 1 reversible adiabatic q = 0 p 2 p 3 irrev. into a vacuum isothermal V 2 = 2V 1 T 2 V 3 = 2V 2 T 3 = T 2 reversible heating at constant V T 1 p 4 V 4 = V 3 T 4 reversible isotherm al p 5 V 5 T 5 = T 4 p =1.00 atm 400 K initial final

33 (2) Recall the definitions of concepts and terms: Second law of thermodynamics, ds = dq rev /T definition of heat capacity: dq = C dt heat capacities of one mole of an ideal gas are related: C p = C V + R heat capacity at constant volume for a monatomic gas is entirely due to its translational energy kinetic energy = 3/2k B T for one molecule N Avogadro k B = R Sum up over all the infinitesimal slivers ds to get: Sf Si ds = S f - S i = ΔS because S is a state function. (3) Solve the problem in the space below: Using the concept that S is a state function, we could go from the given initial state to the given final state via a reversible one-step constant pressure heating, for which path: p =1.00 atm 300 K constant p reversible heating dq rev = C p dt p =1.00 atm 400 K Sf Si ds = S f - S i = ΔS = Tf Ti dq rev /T = Tf Ti C p dt / T = C p ln (T f / T i ) Since this is a monatomic gas, C V = 3/2R. Since it is an ideal gas, C p = C V + R = (5/2)R C p = (5/2)( J K -1 mol -1 ) ΔS = C p ln (T f / T i ) = 2 mol (5/2)( J K -1 mol -1 ) ln(400/300) ΔS system = J K -1 Alternatively we could have solved the problem by calculating ΔS for each step and adding up the values to get the overall ΔS.

34 Considering each step separately:.

In the following pages we analyze what do we know about each step? based on what concept or known condition of the system before/after for each step? to see how to go about calculating various quantities like C V, C p, q, w, ΔU., ΔS, for an ideal gas.

35 p =1.00 atm 300 K (a) p 2 reversible adiabatic q = 0 V 2 = 2V 1 T 2 p 1 V 1 T 1 Since this was a reversible step, dq rev = dq = 0, ds system = 0 for this step Also, we can find out all the other quantities, including the p V and T for state 2, which we shall need in order to get the description of state 3. What do we know? Based on what concept? 1 ΔU = q+w First law of thermodynamics 2 q = 0 definition of adiabatic 3 ideal gas, internal energy depends du =C V dt only on temperature 4 C V = (3/2)R per mole monatomic gas 5 dw = - p opposing dv definition of work 6 p gas = p opposing at all times reversible 7 p gas V = nrt ideal gas 8 ds = dq rev /T Second law of thermodynamics 9 du = dw 1 & 2 10 dw = - (nrt/v) dv 5, 6 & 7 11 du = n(3/2)r dt 3 & 4 12 n(3/2)r dt = - (nrt/v) dv 9, 10 & (3/2) dt /T = - dv / V rearrange 14 (3/2) ln(t 2 /T 1 ) = - ln(v 2 / V 1 ) summing up on both sides 15 ΔU a = n(3/2)r (T 2 -T 1 ) summing up the small du in w = ΔU 9 17 q = q rev reversible 18 ds = 0 2, 8, ΔS a = 0 summing up the small ds in 18 we are given p 1, T 1 and n, so we can solve for V 1 from p 1 V 1 = n RT 1 we are given V 2 = 2V 1, which when substituted into eq. 14 gives (3/2) ln(t 2 /T 1 ) = - ln(v 2 / V 1 ) = -ln(2) or (T 2 /300) 3/2 = (1/2) Now that we have V 2, and T 2, we can calculate all the quantities: Calculate ΔU from 15. Calculate w from 16. Calculate p 2 from 7.

S = S(f) S(i) dq rev /T. ds = dq rev /T

S = S(f) S(i) dq rev /T. ds = dq rev /T In 1855, Clausius proved the following (it is actually a corollary to Clausius Theorem ): If a system changes between two equilibrium states, i and f, the integral dq rev /T is the same for any reversible
