Entropy

In physics, entropy means the amount of disorder or the degree of randomness associated with a thermodynamic system. The system is not self-organized when the entropy of the system is high. For instance, when a system is at an elevated temperature, its molecules are in random motion, vibrating and colliding with each other. During this scenario, the probability of finding a molecule at a particular place twice, is low. Under this circumstance, the system can be said to be in a high entropy.

Mr Chua experimented on water movement within a rigid tank. The rigid tank isdivided into two equal parts by a partition. Initially, one side of the tank contains 5.0kg of water at 200 kPa and 25ºC, and the other side is empty. The partition is thenremoved, and the water expands into the entire tank. The water is allowed toexchange heat with its surroundings until the temperature in the tank returns to theinitial value of 25ºC. Determine:a) the volume of the tank.b) the final pressure of the tank.

A thermally well insulated, frictionless piston with initial volume V. contains 2.0 moles of an ideal gas. The temperature of the system at all time is T K. Then the piston is pulled until the volume of the gas is doubled. This expansion process is a reversible process.
