Question

a) Suppose 1.0 mole of nitrogen is confined to the left side of the container in the figure below. The valve is opened and the volume of the gas doubles. What is the entropy change of the gas in this irreversible process? Treat gas as ideal.

 

b) After having calculated what was asked in letter a, answer what is the variation of entropy if the gas had expanded, doubling the volume, through a free and adiabatic expansion? Justify your answer, explain the differences and similarities between the cases and what is linked to the entropy variation in this case.
