Consider two fixed-volume systems A and B, in thermal equilibrium and that can exchange two different types of particles (say type 1 and type 2). Given that equilibrium is a state of highest multiplicity, show that in order for A and B to be in equilibrium, then systems A and B must have equal chemical potential in each type of particles that they can exchange.

For each system listed in the first column of the table below, decide (if possible) whether the change described in the second column will increase the entropy S of the system, decrease S, or leave S unchanged. If you don't have enough information to decide, check the "not enough information" button in the last column. Note for advanced students: you may assume ideal gas and ideal solution behaviour. System Change AS AS 0 - 16°C. pressure kept constant at 5 atm, not enough information AS 0 the solution. not enough information AS 0 not enough information
E The Carnot cycle, which is a particular example of a thermodynamic cycle, allows determining the efficiency of a "heat-to-work" engine. Clausius used this to find the macroscopic definition of entropy as the heat change of the system at a particular temperature. Th and T are the high and low qh and q for the heats transferred at these temperatures. When plotted in a T-S temperatures and representation, entropy only changes in the processes (steps) where heat is added or removed. However, when plotting the Carnot cycle in the P-V representation it is clear that work is done (on or by) the system in each of the 4 processes of the cycle. a) Give the names of the 2 processes of the Carnot cycle (an engine) in which the surroundings do work on the system. Indicate the condition(s) of the walls for these processes. b) Consider the microscopic, i.e., Boltzmann's, definition of entropy for an ideal gas. Briefly discuss what needs to be satisfied so that there is no change of entropy during a…
Initially at 300 K and 10 atm pressure, 1 mol of a gas is allowed to expand adiabatically against a constant pressure of 4 atm until equilibrium is achieved. Assume the gas to be ideal with Cp,m = 28.58 + 1.76 x 10^-2 T(The units of T are K and the units of Cp,m are J K-1 mol-1.) Compute DU, DH, q and w.

6. A 10 kg copper block has an initial temperature of 800 K. It is placed in a well-insulated vessel containing 100 kg of water initially at 290 K. The process is isobaric at atmospheric pressure. Assume copper and liquid water have constant heat capacity of Cp = 4184 J/kg K for water and 398 J/kg-K for copper. What is the change in entropy of the universe resulting from the process? [CO3]
This question has multiple parts. Work all the parts to get the most points. The Gibbs Free Energy equation is given by the equation: AG = AH - TAS Where: AG = Gibbs Free Energy change AH = Enthalpy change T = temperature AS = Entropy change In order to solve for the temperature, T, in two steps you must: Step One Add the same expression to each side of the equation to leave the term that includes the variable by itself on the right-hand side of the expression: (Be sure that the answer field changes from light yellow to dark yellow before releasing your answer.) +AG = +AH - TAS Drag and drop your selection from the following list to complete the answer: 1 1 -ΔΗ ΔΗ AH AH
You have four distinguishable particles held inside a container. Calculate the number ofmicrostates for each of the following states of the system:A. all of the particles are in the left half of the containerB. two of the particles are in the left half and two are in the right halfC. three particles are in the left half and one particle is in the right halfD. What does this suggest about the relative entropies of each state (A, B and C)?
Calculate 4G in two different ways for the dimerization of NO₂. The first method uses the Gibbs free energies of formation and the second method uses the equation 4G = AH-TAS. 2NO₂(g) → N₂O4(g) Starting with the natural variable equation of dH = TdS+Vdp, show that OH др T = V(1-aT)
