- (a) What is the change in entropy if you start with 10 coins in the 5 heads and 5 tails macrostate, toss them, and get 2 heads and 8 tails? (b) How much more likely is 5 heads and 5 tails than 2 heads and 8 tails? (Take the ratio of the number of microstates to find out.) (c) If you were betting on 2 heads and 8 tails would you accept odds of 252 to 45? Explain Why or why not.

(a) the same point A as for the reversible expansion (b) point B (c) point C (d) any of those choices (e) none of those choicesarrow_forwardA system consisting of n moles of an ideal gas with molar specific heat at constant pressure Cr undergoes two reversible processes. It starts with pressure Pi and volume Vi, expands isothermally, and then contracts adiabatically to reach a final state with pressure Pi and volume 3Vi. (a) Find its change in entropy in the isothermal process. (The entropy does not change in the adiabatic process.) (b) What If? Explain why the answer to part (a) must be the same as the answer to Problem 46. (You do not need to solve Problem 46 to answer this question.)arrow_forward

(Select all that apply.) a) The change in internal energy of the ideal gas means its temperature decreases. b) The surroundings do positive work on the gas. c) The internal energy of the gas can increase. d) The internal energy of the gas decreases. e) The gas does positive work on its surroundings.arrow_forwardA heat engine using a monatomic gas follows the cycle shown in the ?? diagram. The gas starts out at point 1 with a volume of ?1=233 cm3, a pressure of ?1=235 kPa, and a temperature of 287 K. The gas is held at a constant volume while it is heated until its temperature reaches 455 K (point 2). The gas is then allowed to expand adiabatically until its pressure is again 235 kPa (point 3). The gas is maintained at this pressure while it is cooled back to its original temperature of 287K (point 1 again). For the first stage of this process, calculate in joules the heat ?12 transferred to the gas and the work ?12 done by the gas. ?12= ?12= For the second stage, calculate the heat ?23 transferred to the gas and the work ?23 done by the gas. ?23= ?23= For the third stage, calculate the heat ?31 transferred to the gas and the work ?31 done by the gas.arrow_forward

System B is compressed isothermally to half its original volume. System C is compressed isobarically to half its original volume. Which of the three systems requires the greatest work input? System B requires the greatest work input All three systems require equal work System A requires the greatest work input Unable to determine, since the intitial volumes of the systems are not given.
