Consider two initially separate blocks of copper in an isolated container. Each block is of mass 15.0 kg, and one is at 100°C and the other at 25°C. They are placed in contact and allowed to equilibrate. Refer to the prescribed textbook Resource section for data. The molar heat capacity is to be regarded as constant over the temperature range. Calculate the total change in entropy and rationalize the result

Discuss the diagram of the molar Gibbs free energy (or chemical potential) versus temperaturebelow for a pure substance. Why are there three curves? Why do they slope downward? Does thegraph identify any interesting temperatures? Are some segmentsof the curves more important/interesting than others? Feel free to redraw and label the diagram.
1) The entropy of vaporization of methanol CH3OH determined at the boiling temperature is equal to 104.6 J mol¹ K-¹. It is in the Data Section of Atkins book. Is it consistent with the Trouton's rule? Calculate the enthalpy of vaporization of methanol at this temperature. Hint: the vaporization temperature can be taken from the Data Section (next page).

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…
