its power input is 500 W. A sample of water of mass 500 g and temperature

Entropy
4.19. Suppose a 1.0-kg sample of water at temperature T1 = 30.0°C is added to a
2.0-kg sample of water at T2 = 90.0°C in an insulated calorimeter of negligible
heat capacity at a constant pressure of 1.00 atm. (a) Find the change in entropy
of the system. (b) Find the change in entropy of the universe.
Guide:
If a substance is heated from temperature T1 to temperature T2 at constant
pressure, the heat absorbed 𝛿Q is related to its temperature change dT by:
𝛿Q = CPdT
We can approximate reversible heat transfer if we have a large number of heat
reservoirs with temperatures ranging from just slightly greater than T 1 to T2 in
very small steps. We could place the substance, with initial temperature T 1, in
contact with the first reservoir at a temperature just slightly greater than T 1 and
let the substance absorb a small amount of heat. Because the heat transfer from
each reservoir is approximately isothermal, the process will be approximately
reversible. We then place the substance in contact with the next reservoir at a
slightly higher temperature, and so on, until the final temperature T2 is reached.
If heat dQ is absorbed reversibly, the entropy change of the substance is
δQ C P dT
dS= =
T T
Integrating from T1 to T2 , we obtain the total entropy change of the substance:
T2
dT T
∆ S=∫ C P =C P ln 2
T1
T T1
This result gives the entropy change of a substance that is heated from T 1 to T2
by any process, reversible or irreversible, as long as the final pressure equals
the initial pressure and CP is constant. It also gives the entropy change of a
substance that is cooled. In the case of cooling, T 2 is less than T1, and entropy
change is negative.
(a) Find the final temperature Tf = 343 K.
Calculate the entropy changes of 1 kg water and 2 kg water:
S1 = 0.52 kJ/K
S2 = -0.47 kJ/K
The Entropy change of the system: S = 0.05 kJ/K
The calorimeter is insulated The Entropy change of the surroundings:
Ssurroundings = 0 J/K. The Entropy change of the universe: Su = 0.05 kJ/K
4.20. During each cycle, a Carnot engine absorbs 100 J from a reservoir at 400
K, does work, and releases heat to a reservoir at 300 K. Compute the entropy
change of each reservoir for each cycle, and show explicitly that the entropy
change of the universe is zero for this reversible process.
Guide:
The entropy change of the universe equals the sum of the entropy changes of the
reservoirs: Su = S300 + S400
S400 = - Qh/Th = -0.250 J/K
S300 = Qc/Tc = (Qh – W)/Tc
W = εQh = (1-TC/Th)Qh S300 = Qh/Th = 0.25 J/K

4.21. A solid that has a latent heat of fusion Lf melts at a temperature Tf .
Calculate the change in entropy of this substance when a mass m of the
substance melts.
Guide: We can choose any convenient reversible path to follow that connects
the initial and final states. It is not necessary to identify the process or the path
because, whatever it is, the effect is the same: energy enters the substance by
heat and the substance melts. Because the melting takes place at a fixed
temperature, we categorize the process as isothermal.

4.22. Find the entropy change for the free expansion of 0.75 mol of an ideal gas
from V1 = 1.5 L to V2 = 3.0 L.
Guide: For a free expansion of an ideal gas the initial and final temperatures
are the same. Thus, the entropy change S for a free expansion from V1 to V2 is
the same as S for an isothermal process from V1 to V2. For the isothermal
process U = 0 Q = Wby. We first calculate Q, then S = Q/T = 4.3 J/K
(b) The change in entropy of the heat source is: Ssource = -Q/T = mCH2OT/T =
… = -11121 J/K
(c) We can imagine infinitely many heat sources which have infinitesimal
temperature difference between two adjacent sources from O°C to 100°C. The
water comes in contact with the infinitely many heat sources in turn in the order
of increasing temperature. This process which allows the temperature of the
water to increase from 0°C to 100°C is reversible; therefore S = 0.
Guide:
The entropy difference of an ideal gas at 20°C and at -196°C is
S = nc’pln(T1/T2) = ?
The entropy change at phase transition is S’ = nL/T2 = ?
Therefore: S = S + S’ = 0.97 cal/K.

4.31. A cylindrical container is initially separated by a clamped piston into two
compartments of equal volume. The left compartment is filled with one mole of
neon gas at a pressure of 4 atmospheres and the right with argon gas at one
atmosphere. The gases may be considered as ideal. The whole system is initially
