(a) Calculate the change in entropy when 1.00 kg of water at 100°C is vaporized and converted to steam at 100°C (see Table 174). (b) Compare your answer to the change in entropy when 1.00 kg of ice is melted at 0°C. calculated in Example 20.5 (Section 20.7). Is the change in entropy greater for melting or for vaporization? Interpret your answer using the idea that entropy is a measure of the randomness of a system.

An Introduction to Thermal Physics
- Which of the following is true for the entropy change of a system that undergoes a reversible, adiabatic process? (a) S 0 (b) S = 0 (c) S 0arrow_forwardConsider cyclic processes completely characterized by each of the following net energy inputs and outputs. In each case, the energy transfers listed are the only ones occurring. Classify each process as (a) possible, (b) impossible according to the first law of thermodynamics, (c) impossible according to the second law of thermodynamics, or (d) impossible according to both the first and second laws. (i) Input is 5 J of work, and output is 4 J of work. (ii) Input is 5 J of work, and output is 5 J of energy transferred by heat. (iii) Input is 5 J of energy transferred by electrical transmission, and output is 6 J of work. (iv) Input is 5 J of energy transferred by heat, and output is 5 J of energy transferred by heat. (v) Input is 5 J of energy transferred by heat, and output is 5 J of work. (vi) Input is 5 J of energy transferred by heat, and output is 3 J of work plus 2 J of energy transferred by heat.arrow_forwardIs it possible for a system to have an entropy change if it neither absorbs nor emits heat during a reversible? transition? What happens it the process is irreversible?arrow_forward
- True or False: The entropy change in an adiabatic process must be zero because Q = 0.arrow_forwardA sealed container holding 0.500 kg of liquid nitrogen at its boiling point of 77.3 K is placed in a large room at 21.0C. Energy is transferred from the room to the nitrogen as the liquid nitrogen boils into a gas and then warms to the rooms temperature. (a) Assuming the rooms temperature remains essentially unchanged at 21.0C, calculate the energy transferred from the room to the nitrogen. (b) Estimate the change in entropy of the room. Liquid nitrogen has a latent heat of vaporization of 2.01 105 J/kg. The specific heat of N2 gas at constant pressure is CN2 = 1.04 103J/kg K.arrow_forwardDoes the entropy increase for a Carnot engine for each cycle?arrow_forward
- An athlete whose mass is 70.0 kg drinks 16.0 ounces (454 g) of refrigerated water. The water is at a temperature of 35.0F. (a) Ignoring the temperature change of the body that results from the water intake (so that the body is regarded as a reservoir always at 98.6F), find the entropy increase of the entire system. (b) What If? Assume the entire body is cooled by the drink and the average specific heat of a person is equal to the specific heat of liquid water. Ignoring any other energy transfers by heat and any metabolic energy release, find the athletes temperature after she drinks the cold water given an initial body temperature of 98.6F. (c) Under these assumptions, what is the entropy increase of the entire system? (d) State how this result compares with the one you obtained in part (a).arrow_forwardOf the following, which is not a statement of the second law of thermodynamics? (a) No heat engine operating in a cycle can absorb energy from a reservoir and use it entirely to do work, (b) No real engine operating between two energy reservoirs can be more efficient than a Carnot engine operating between the same two reservoirs, (c) When a system undergoes a change in state, the change in the internal energy of the system is the sum of the energy transferred to the system by heat and the work done on the system, (d) The entropy of the Universe increases in all natural processes, (e) Energy will not spontaneously transfer by heat from a cold object to a hot object.arrow_forwardWhat is the entropy change of 10 g of steam at 100 when it condenses to water at the same temperature?arrow_forward
