Exercise 5.2.1 5.2. 1. predict which substance in each pair has the higher entropy and justify your answer. 1 mol of he (g) at 10 k and 1 atm pressure or 1 mol of he (g) at 250°c and 0.2 atm. a mixture of 3 mol of h 2 (g) and 1 mol of n 2 (g) at 25°c and 1 atm or a sample of 2 mol of nh 3 (g) at 25°c and 1 atm.
What Is Entropy Definition And Examples Section summary. entropy is the loss of energy available to do work. another form of the second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy of a system either increases or remains constant; it never decreases. change of entropy is zero in a reversible process; it increases in an irreversible process. Entropy is related not only to the unavailability of energy to do work; it is also a measure of disorder. for example, in the case of a melting block of ice, a highly structured and orderly system of water molecules changes into a disorderly liquid, in which molecules have no fixed positions (figure 12.11). there is a large increase in entropy. Example 10.5.1. lets start with an easy reaction: 2h2 (g) o2 (g) → 2h2o (g) the enthalpy, Δh, for this reaction is 241.82 kj, and the entropy, Δs, of this reaction is 233.7 j k. if the temperature is at 25º c, then there is enough information to calculate the standard free energy change, Δg. In the adiabatic steps 2 and 4 of the cycle shown in figure 4.7.1, no heat exchange takes place, so Δs2 = Δs4 = ∫ dq t = 0. in step 1, the engine absorbs heat qh at a temperature th, so its entropy change is Δs1 = qh th. similarly, in step 3, Δs3 = − qc tc.
