Chapter 20, Problem 48P
(II) 1.00 mole of nitrogen (N2) gas and 1.00 mole of argon (Ar) gas are in separate, equal-sized, insulated containers at the same temperature. The containers are then connected and the gases (assumed ideal) allowed to mix. What is the change in entropy (a) of the system and (b) of the environment? (c) Repeat part (a) but assume one container is twice as large as the other.
