Physics 200a Problem Set XII Entropy

1. Problem Set XII was assigned on December 6, 2006 and was due on December 8, 2006 for Physics 200a taught by Professor R. Shankar at Fall 2006. Students were instructed to submit their problem set in Mara Baraban's mailbox in the SPL mail room by 5pm on the due date. 2. The problem set contains 3 problems: the first asks about the entropy change of melting and heating 1 gram of ice, the second asks about mixing hot and cold water, and the third asks about calculating the entropy change along a path in pressure-volume space between two thermodynamic states.

Problem Set XII- Assign December 6, 2006 Due December 8, 2006.

Fall 2006 Physics 200a


R. Shankar
(Turn the problem set into Mara Barabans box in the SPL mail room by 5pm on 12/8.)

1. What is the increase in entropy if one gram of ice at O o C is melted and heated to
500 C?
2. Find the change in entropy if 500 g of water at 80o C is added to 300 g of water at
20o C. (None of the heat is lost from the system.)
3. Consider a mole of a gas initially at 1 (P1 , V1 ) and finally at 2 (P2 , V2 ). Since
S2 S1 is path independent, choose the simple path shown in Figure (1) by first
changing pressure at constant volume and then volume at constant pressure. Let
0 = (P0 , T0 ) be the intermediate point you go through. Show that

Show that if 1 and 2 lie on an adiabatic curve, this difference vanishes. Assume
Cp = CV + R, but not a particular value to CV .

FIG. 1: To compute entropy difference S2 S1 go from 1 to 0 at constant volume and then from 0 to 2 at constant
pressure.
