A gaseous system undergoes a change in temperature and volume. What is the entropy change for a particle in this system if the final number of microstates is 0.587 times that of the initial number of microstates? Express your answer numerically in joules per kelvin per particle.

Problem 1: Describe a situation in which the entropy of a container of gas is constant. In other words, come up with your own problem where the answer is that AS = 0.

We trapped 28 kg of dry air, and it initially has standard pressure and temperature. The trapped air parcel rises in the atmosphere until the temperature is 188 K. What is the change in entropy if the pressure decreases by 28% after the parcel rises?

A 23.9 g block of copper whose temperature is 382 K is placed in an insulating box with a 57.3 g block of lead whose temperature is 228 K. (a) What is the equilibrium temperature of the two-block system? (b) What is the change in the internal energy of the two-block system between the initial state and the equilibrium state? (c) What is the change in the entropy of the two-block system? The heat capacities of copper and lead are 386 J/kg-K and 128 J/kg-K, respectively.
