A unit mass of an ideal gas at temperature T undergoes a reversible isothermal process from pressure P1 to pressure P2 while losing an amount q of heat to the surroundings at temperature T. If the gas constant of the gas is R, the entropy change of the gas âs during this process is:a. âS =R ln (P2/P1)b. âS = R ln (P1/P2)c. âS =R ln (P2/P1) - q/Td. âS = R ln (P1/P2) - q/Te. 0

Answer:

Option B

Change in entropy of the process is [tex]\Delta S= Rln(\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}})[/tex]

Explanation:

The entropy of a system is a measure of the degree of disorderliness of the system.

The entropy of a system moving from process 1 to 2 is given as

[tex]\Delta S = \int\limits^2_1 {\frac{\delta q}{T}}[/tex]

recall from first law, [tex]\delta q =du +Pdv[/tex]

hence we have, [tex]\Delta S = \int\limits^2_1 {\frac{du +Pdv}{T}}[/tex]

since the process is isothermal, [tex]du= 0[/tex]

this gives us [tex]\Delta S = \int\limits^2_1 {\frac{Pdv}{T}}[/tex]

integrating within the limits of 1 and 2, will give us

[tex]\Delta S = R ln (\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}})[/tex]

also from ideal gas laws,

[tex]\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}}=\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}[/tex]

hence we have    [tex]\Delta S = R ln (\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}})[/tex]

This makes the correct option B

The correct answer is (d). R ln(P1/P2)

In Isothermal Process, the heat exchange takes place at constant temperature ΔT=0

dQ = dU + dW

Here dU = 0 since there is no internal energy change at constant temperature.

dW = PdV

but here pressure is changing,

PV = nRT, given n= 1    ⇒  PV = RT

V = RT/P   ⇒ dV = -RT/[tex]P^{2}[/tex] dP

⇒ dQ = -RT/P dP

So the change in entropy,

ΔS = ∫dQ/T = [tex]-\int\limits^{P_{2}}_{P_{1}} {\frac{R}{P} } \, dP[/tex] =  R ln([tex]P_{1}[/tex]/[tex]P_{2}[/tex])
