We will now highlight how to calculate entropy (ΔS) for four processes involving ideal gases:

1) Reversible Isothermal Expansion or Compression

V_iT_i --> V_fT_i

2) Constant P, V temperature change

V_iT_i --> V_iT_f

P_iT_i --> P_iT_f

3) Changes in both V and T, constant P

V_iT_i -->V _fT_f

4) Changes in both P and T, constant V

V_iT_i -->V _fT_f

Example Problem 1

(Please write out your complete solution and email to bes by next class period)

Consider a gas undergoing the following change under constant pressure (1.00 bar) conditions; calculate the change in entropy (ΔS): V_i = 10.0 L; T_i = 298 K; T_f = 398 K

Example Problem 2

(Please write out your complete solution and email to bes by next class period)

Consider a gas undergoing the following change under constant volume (10.0 L) conditions; calculate the change in entropy (ΔS): P_i = 1.00 bar; T_i = 298 K; T_f = 398 K
