Now consider a more standard process: an isothermal expansion where the gas expands at ?=273K from ?i=1m3 to ?f=2m3. The initial pressure is ?i=1atm.

E. In problem 1 of the week 2 written homework, the area under the PV diagram for this process is given by ??B? ln(V2/V1). Use this to compute the work done on the gas during this process.

F. Compute the change in Gibbs free energy of the gas during this isothermal expansion. (Hint: How much heat must have flowed from the thermal bath to the gas during this process, to keep the temperature constant?)

Now let’s compare the two processes.

G. How will Δ?, Δ?, and Δ? for these two processes compare? (Hint: Compare their initial and final states.)

H. Now compute the (−?Δ?) term for the gas in the free expansion. Since the internal energy didn’t change, the only contribution to the change in energy is the change in volumetric multiplicity. (Hint: You don’t need to know ? to determine the answer. Why not?)

I. Compare the changes in Gibbs free energy that you calculated for each process. Do these values agree with your answer to part G?
