10. Imagine you have a system in which you have 54 grams of ice. You can melt this
ice and then vaporize it all at 0 C. The melting and vaporization are done reversibly
into a balloon held at a pressure of 0.250 bar. Here are some facts about water you
may wish to know. The density of liquid water at 0 C is 1 g/cm³. The density of ice at 0
C is 0.917 g/cm³. The enthalpy of vaporization of liquid water is 2.496 kJ/gram and the
enthalpy of fusion of solid water is 333.55 J/gram.

- 3. The entropy of an ideal gas is S = Nkg In V. Entropy is a state function rather than a path function, and in this problem, you will show an example of the entropy change for an ideal gas being the same when you go between the same two states by two different pathways. A. Express ASV = S2 (V2) - S₁(V1), the change in entropy upon changing the volume from V₁to V2, at fixed particle number N and energy, U. B. Express ASN = S₂(N₂) - S₁ (N₁), the change in entropy upon changing the particle number from N₁ to N2, at fixed volume V and energy U. C. Write an expression for the entropy change, AS, for a two-step process (V₁, N₁) → (V2, N₁) → (V2, N₂) in which the volume changes first at fixed particle number, then the particle number changes at fixed volume. Again, assume energy is constant.arrow_forwardPlease don't use Chatgpt will upvote and give handwritten solutionarrow_forward6. We used the constant volume heat capacity, Cv, when we talked about thermodynamic cycles. It acts as a proportionality constant between energy and temperature: dU = C₁dT. You can also define a heat capacity for constant pressure processes, Cp.
