- ENTROPY, MICROSTATES, AND PROBABILITY Overview Expansion of a gas at the molecular level is explained in terms of particle motion and probability. Learning Objectives At the end of the activity I am able to: 1. Explain a spontaneous process - such as air rushing in to an evacuated chamber - using particle motion at the molecular level; 2. Distinguish between spontaneous and non-spontaneous processes, and connect these to a probabilistic description of matter; 3. Explain how a large number of microstates can produce the same macro-state; 4. Use particle motion and probability to explain heat transfer. Procedure Direction: This is a guided inquiry activity. Visit the links suggested and observe. Answer the questions in the space provided.

- Learning Goal: To understand the meaning and the basic applications of pV diagrams for an ideal gas. As you know, the parameters of an ideal gas are described by the equation PV = nRT where p is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume of the gas, 12 is the number of moles. R is the universal gas constant, and T is the absolute temperature of the gas. It follows that, for a portion of an ideal gas, constant. One can see that, if the amount of gas remains constant, it is impossible to change just one parameter of the gas: At least one more parameter would also change. For instance, if the pressure of the gas is changed, we can be sure that either the volume or the temperature of the gas (or, maybe, both!) would also change. To explore these changes, it is often convenient to draw a graph showing one parameter as a function of the other. Although there are many choices of axes, the most common one is a plot of pressure as a function of volume: a pV diagram. pV In this problem, you will…arrow_forwardPlease good handwriting and clear ideas explaining the process! c) What do you expect for the equilibrium temperature if you plan to place windows on the submarine?
