Question

(a) An ideal gas undergoes an adiabatic expansion into
a vacuum. Are AS, ASsurrounding and AStotal positive, negative,
or zero? Explain your reasoning.
(b) 2.25 moles of an ideal gas with Cv, m = 5R/2 are trans-
formed from an initial state T= 680. K and P= 1.15 bar to a
final state I'= 298 K and P= 4.75 bar. Calculate for this pro-
cess: AH & AS.
