Question
A sample of perfect gas that initially occupies 15.0 L at 300 K and 1.0 bar is compressed isothermally. To what volume must the gas be compressed to reduce its entropy by 5.0 J/K? [ln 0.36 = −1.0, ln 2.7 = 1.0]
Options
A.5.4 L
B.8.22 L
C.40.5 L
D.5.56 L
Solution
$\Delta S = nR.\ln\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} \Rightarrow - 5.0 = \frac{10^{5} \times \left( 15 \times 10^{- 3} \right)}{300} \times \ln\frac{V_{2}}{15} \Rightarrow V_{2} = 5.4\text{ L}$
