Describe how entropy is decreased by bringing a substance from a gas, to a liquid, and finally to a solid. Be sure to use the terms order, disorder, energy, and entropy.
Answer the following questions about the PV diagram shown in the picture.
Question 1: How much work is done by the gas in each cycle ADCA? Answer in joules.
Question 2: How much work is done by the gas in each cycle ADBA? Answer in joules.
Question 3: How much work is performed in the process AD? Answer in joules.
The combined molecular kinetic energies of molecules in a cool lake are greater than the combined molecular kinetic energies of molecules in a cup of hot tea. Pretend you partially immerse the teacup in the lake and that the tea absorbs 10 calories from the water and becomes hotter, while the water that gives up 10 calories becomes cooler. Would this energy transfer violate the first law of thermodynamics? The second law of thermodynamics? Defend your answers.

- The diagram shows the pressure and volume of an ideal gas during one cycle of an engine. (Figure 1)As the gas proceeds from state 1 to state 2, it is heated at constant pressure. It is then cooled at constant volume, until it reaches state 3. The gas is then cooled at constant pressure to state 4. Finally, the gas is heated at constant volume until it returns to state 1. When the gas is in state 1, its temperature is T1. Find the temperature T3 of the gas when it is in state 3. (Keep in mind that this is an ideal gas.) Express T3 in terms of T1.arrow_forwardWhat is principle of increase of entropy? The entropy of a boiled egg decreases as it cools.Is this a violation of the increase of entropy principle?

Since you think she is full of hot air, this temperature must increase while the air is in her lungs. If this air heats up to 37 degrees Celsius, what is the new volume of the gas? (Note that 37 degrees Celsius is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, which is normal body temperature.) Remember to pay close attention to the units of temperature before beginning your calculations.
