Consider the adiabatic free expansion of n moles of an ideal gas from volume V₁ to volume V2, where V₂ > V₁. [Hint: check lecture 19, chapter 5.6, process number 5. Note that such a process happens quasi-instantaneously, thus, it is irreversible.] (1) Calculate the change in entropy of the gas. (2) Calculate the change in entropy of the environment. (3) Evaluate the total change in entropy (AS = ASgas + ASenv.) for 1 mole, with V₂ = 2V₁.
