What are the dimensions of the answer? c) Does the answer to part b make sense given that equilibrium is also the state with the maximum value for the microscopic entropy, defined as S = kg logo?
Learning Goal Internal Energy of an ideal gas The internal energy of a system is the energy stored in the system. In an ideal gas, the internal energy includes the kinetic energies (translational and rotational) of all the molecules, and other energies due to the interactions among the molecules. The internal energy is proportional to the Absolute Temperature T and the number of moles n (or the number of molecules N). n monatomic ideal gases, the interactions among the molecules...
True or False (Problems 1 through 10) 1. The change in entropy of a closed system is the same for every process between two specified states 2. The entropy of a fixed amount of an incompressible substance increases in every process for which temperature increases 3. A process that violates the second law of thermodynamics violates the first law of thermodynamics. 4. When a net amount of work is done on a closed system undergoing an internally reversible process, a...

6. The formula dS = dQ/T makes it look like a system can only increase its entropy by absorbing heat. You must however remember that this equation is only true for reversible processes. Entropy can change for a system without absorbing any heat. Consider the following scenario. You are given an insulated container with two compartments. The whole container is at the temperature T which remains constant. One compartment has a volume V1 and has n1 moles of an ideal...

The first law of thermodynamics In thermal physics, we are often interested in the internal energy (E) of a system. The wo 41 internal energy of an ideal gas is proportional to the temperature and the number of moles of the gas. The internal energy can change when energy is exchanged with the system's environment (ie., objects that are outside the system of interest). The case above is one in which the internal energy of a gas changes due to...
The equilibrium constant of a system, K, can be related to the standard free energy change, ΔG∘ ΔG∘=−RTlnK where T is a specified temperature in kelvins (usually 298 KK) and R is equal to 8.314 J/(K⋅mol) Under conditions other than standard state, the following equation applies: ΔG=ΔG∘+RTlnQ In this equation, Q is the reaction quotient and is defined the same manner as KK except that the concentrations or pressures used are not necessarily the equilibrium values. Part A Acetylene, C2H2,...
The condition of a system at equilibrium represents a balance between the tendency toward lowest energy (E) and the tendency toward molecular chaos or maximum entropy (S). The Gibbs Free Energy, G, is the state function that combines energy and entropy into an equation that allows us to find the balance between these two tendencies. For a system undergoing change at constant temperature, ΔG = ΔH - TΔS. The system stops changing when it reaches the equilibrium condition, ΔG =...
