Answer:

(a) The work done by the gas on the surroundings is, 17537.016 J

(b) The entropy change of the gas is, 73.0709 J/K

(c) The entropy change of the gas is equal to zero.

Explanation:

(a) The expression used for work done in reversible isothermal expansion will be,

where,

w = work done = ?

n = number of moles of gas  = 4 mole

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mole K

T = temperature of gas  = 240 K

= initial volume of gas  =  

= final volume of gas  =  

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

The work done by the gas on the surroundings is, 17537.016 J

(b) Now we have to calculate the entropy change of the gas.

As per first law of thermodynamic,

where,

= internal energy

q = heat

w = work done

As we know that, the term internal energy is the depend on the temperature and the process is isothermal that means at constant temperature.

So, at constant temperature the internal energy is equal to zero.

Thus, w = q = 17537.016 J

Formula used for entropy change:

The entropy change of the gas is, 73.0709 J/K

(c) Now we have to calculate the entropy change of the gas when the expansion is reversible and adiabatic instead of isothermal.

As we know that, in adiabatic process there is no heat exchange between the system and surroundings. That means, q = constant = 0

So, from this we conclude that the entropy change of the gas must also be equal to zero.

Which of these is true about kinetic energy but not necessarily true about potential energy
cestrela7 [59]

Kinetic energy is never negative, but potential energy can be.

Potential energy depends on height above some reference level,
and you can pick any level you want as the reference.  So, if the
object is below the reference level you pick, then its potential
energy relative to your reference level is negative. 

What that means is:  You have to lift it / do work on it / give it more
energy than it has now ... in order to move it to the reference level.

(That's exactly the situation with electrons bound to an atom.  Their
energy is considered negative, because we have to do work and
give them more energy to rip them away from the atom.)
_____________________________________

Regarding the other choices:

-- Kinetic energy is scalar ... Yes.  So is potential energy.

-- Kinetic energy increases with height ...
   No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.

-- Kinetic energy depends on position ...
   No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.
