Starting with the Clausius Inequality, ∂S ≥ ∂q/T, can you prove that, under conditions of constant pressure and entropy, for the total entropy to increase, ∂H ≤ 0 J?
When an aluminum bar is temporarily connected between a hot reservoir at 725 K and a cold reservoir at 310 K, 2.50 kJ of energy is transferred by heat from the hot reservoir to the cold reservoir. In this irreversible process, calculate the change in entropy of (a) the hot reservoir, (b) the cold reservoir, and (c) the Universe, neglecting any change in entropy of the aluminum rod. (d) Mathematically, why did the result for the Universe in part (c) have to be positive?
The volume of a monatomic ideal gas triples in an isothermalexpansion. By what factor does its pressure change?
