In a process, 3 mol of an ideal gas (Cp= 2.5 R) and 1 atm change to 125°C and 5 atm. Calculate the entropy change from process to system.
Part A: 10 moles of ideal gas initially at 10 atm and 250 K is expanded isothermally and reversibly to a final pressure of 2 atm. Calculate W; U; and Q in Joules. Part B: The same gas in part A, starting in the same initial state, is expanded isothermally against a constant external pressure of 2 atm, to a final pressure of 2 atm. Calculate W; U; and Q in Joules for this irreversible process. Part C: The same gas in part B, starting in the same initial state, is expanded isothermally to a nal pressure of 2 atm. The process is carried out in 4 stages. First the gas is expanded against a constant pressure of 8 atm, to 8 atm. Then the gas is expanded against a constant pressure of 6 atm, to 6 atm. Then the gas is expanded against a constant pressure of 4 atm, to 4 atm. Finally, the gas is expanded against a constant pressure of 2 þtm, to 2 atm. Calculate W; U; and Q in Joules for the 4-step process.
