Interpretation: Two cubic containers are given to contain the same quantity of gas at the same temperature. The cube containing gas at higher entropy is to be identified. The sample with higher entropy if, the sample in the part (b) is left unchanged, but the sample in part (a) is cooled so that it condenses, is to be identified.
Concept introduction: Entropy is a
In the spontaneous process, the entropy of the system increases when one phase changes to another phase in an isolated system according to the second law of thermodynamic.
The entropy is maximum in the gas phase and minimum in the solid phase.
To determine: The cube containing gas at higher entropy, when the two cubic containers contain the same quantity of gas at the same temperature and the sample with higher entropy if, the sample in the part (b) is left unchanged but the sample in part (a) is cooled so that it condenses.
