Entropy Change of the Universe
Given:
Initial pressure (P1) = 0.5 MPa
Final pressure (P2) = 0.1 MPa
Initial temperature (T1) = 300 K
Number of moles (n) = 1 kmol
To find: The entropy change of the universe (ΔS)
We can calculate the entropy change of the universe using the formula:
ΔS = ΔS_system + ΔS_surroundings
1. Calculate the entropy change of the system (ΔS_system):
The entropy change of an ideal gas during an isentropic process (constant entropy) is given by:
ΔS_system = n * R * ln(P2/P1)
Where:
n = number of moles
R = specific gas constant
P1, P2 = initial and final pressures
The specific gas constant (R) can be calculated using the equation:
R = R_universal / M
Where:
R_universal = universal gas constant
M = molar mass of the gas
2. Calculate the entropy change of the surroundings (ΔS_surroundings):
The entropy change of the surroundings can be calculated using the equation:
ΔS_surroundings = -Q/T
Where:
Q = heat transferred to or from the surroundings
T = temperature
In an adiabatic process (no heat transfer), there is no change in entropy of the surroundings. Therefore, ΔS_surroundings = 0.
3. Calculate the entropy change of the universe (ΔS):
Since ΔS_surroundings = 0, the entropy change of the universe is equal to the entropy change of the system:
ΔS = ΔS_system
Now let's calculate the entropy change of the system:
First, calculate the specific gas constant (R):
R_universal = 8.314 J/(mol·K) (universal gas constant)
M = molar mass of the gas
Next, calculate the entropy change of the system (ΔS_system):
ΔS_system = n * R * ln(P2/P1)
Finally, calculate the entropy change of the universe (ΔS):
ΔS = ΔS_system
The correct option can be determined by performing the calculations and selecting the answer choice that matches the result.
