Consider 4.00 mol of an ideal gas with a constant‑volume molar specific heat of 12.5 J/(mol·K), an initial temperature of 26.8 ∘C, and an initial pressure of 5.710×104 Pa. The state of the gas is then changed to a final temperature of 48.1 ∘C and a final pressure of 3.090×104 Pa. What is the change in the entropy Δ? of the gas during this process? The gas constant is 8.31 J/(mol·K).
It can be shown that as a mass m with specific heat c changes temperature from 7; to Tfits change in entropy is AS = mcln (T₁/T₁) if the temperatures are expressed in kelvin.
