Q97

The expression for entropy change given by, S = nRl n ( V_2 V_1 ) + n C_ vl n ( T_2 T_1 ) is valid for

The expression for entropy change given by,      is valid for
A.
Reversible isothermal volume change
B.
Heating of a substance
C.
Cooling of a substance
D.
Simultaneous heating and expansion of an ideal gas
Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
For a pure substance in a closed system has a degree of freedom = 2
So, entropy(s) can be expressed as a function of two variables (properties)


So, on integrating this equation from temperature T2 to T1 expanding volume from V1 to V2 GIVES the equation



for an ideal gas of n moles.
