Interpretation Introduction
(b)
Interpretation:
The second-law spontaneity is to be justified for the given situation using statistical thermodynamic arguments.
Concept introduction:
The second law of thermodynamics states that for an isolated system, that is, a system in which there is no transfer of matter or energy, the entropy of the system always increases with time.

Assume N₂ behaves as perfect gas. It expands reversibly and adiabatically from Vi to Vf with the pressure change from pi to pf.
(a) Derive the temperature versus volume relationship and the pressure and volume relationship for this expansion.
(b) When a sample of N₂ of mass 3.12 g at 23.0 °C is allowed to expand reversibly and adiabatically from 4.00 × 10² cm3 to 2.00 dm3, what is the work done by the gas?
A sample of 4.50 g of methane occupies 12.7 dm³ at 310 K.

pressure of 200 Torr until its volume has increased by 3.3 dm³.
(b) Calculate the work that would be done if the same expansion occurred reversibly.
Indicate whether each statement is true or false. (a) Unlikeenthalpy, where we can only ever know changes in H, wecan know absolute values of S. (b) If you heat a gas suchas CO2, you will increase its degrees of translational, rotationaland vibrational motions. (c) CO2(g) and Ar(g) havenearly the same molar mass.
