Question

The change in entropy of 20.0 moles of ideal monatomic constant volume gas as it changes from an initial temperature 300 K to its final temperature is 200 J/K. What is the final temperature of the gas

Answer 1

Answer:

668.9K is the final temperature

Explanation:

The change in entropy, ΔS, of an ideal monoatomic gas is obtained using the equation:

ΔS = n*Cv*ln (T2/T1)

Where ΔS is change in entropy = 200J/K

n are moles = 20.0mol

Cv is 3/2R for an ideal monoatomic gas (3/2*8.314J/molK)

T2 is final Temperature and T1 initial temperature = 300K

Replacing:

ΔS = n*Cv*ln (T2/T1)

200J/K = 20.0mol*3/2 *8.314J/molK*ln (T2/300K)

0.80186 = ln (T2/300K)

2.23 = T2 / 300K

668.9K is the final temperature
