- Suppose 20 g of ice at 0 is added to 300 g of water at 60 . What is the total change in entropy of the mixture after it reaches thermal equilibrium?arrow_forwardTwo moles of nitrogen gas, with =7/5 for ideal diatomic gases, occupies a volume of 102 m3 in an insulated cylinder at temperature 300 K. The gas is adiabatically and reversibly compressed to a volume of 5 L. The piston of the cylinder is locked in its place, and the insulation around the cylinder is removed. The heat-conducting cylinder is then placed in a 300-K bath. Heat from the compressed gas leaves the gas, and the temperature of the gas becomes 300 K again. The gas is then slowly expanded at the fixed temperature 300 K until the volume of the gas becomes 102 m3, thus making a complete cycle for the gas. For the entire cycle, calculate (a) the work done by the gas, (b) the heat into or out of the gas, (c) the change in the internal energy of the gas, and (d) the change in entropy of the gas.arrow_forwardThe energy output of a heat pump is greater than the energy used to operate the pump. Why doesn't this statement violate the first law of thermodynamics?arrow_forward

- (II) A heat engine exhausts its heat at 340°C and has aCarnot efficiency of 36%. What exhaust temperature wouldenable it to achieve a Carnot efficiency of 42%?arrow_forward(a) At a steam power plant, steam engines work in pairs, the heat output of the first one being the approximate heat input of the second. The operating temperatures of the first are 750°C and 440°C, and of the second 415°C and 270°C. If the heat of combustion of coal is 2.8 × 107 J/kg, at what rate must coal be burned if the plant is to put out 950 MW of power? Assume the efficiency of the engines is 65% of the ideal (Carnot) efficiency. (b) Water is used to cool the power plant. If the water temperature is allowed to increase by no more than 4.5 C°, estimate how much water must pass through the plant per hour.arrow_forward(I) The exhaust temperature of a heat engine is 230°C.

(1) A thin membrane divides an insulated container into two equal volumes. One side contains 2 mol of an ideal gas. (a) What is the change in entropy of the gas when the mem- brane is broken?
