Part A. Two containers, one at 305 K and the other at 295 K, are placed in contact with each other. 1. 1 J of heat flows from the hot container to the cold container. Find the change in entropy of the hot container and the cold container, and of the whole system (hot cold container together). Does this process violate the second law of thermodynamics

0.00011 JK.

The process does NOT violate the second law of thermodynamics

Explanation:

The following parameters are given which are going to help in solving for the change in entropy of the system. The term "entropy'' simply means the degree of disorderliness of a system.

=> The temperature of container A = 305 K, the temperature of container B = 295 K and the amount of heat generated when the containers are placed in contact with each other = 1. 1 J.

The change in entropy of the hot container = -(1/305) = - 0.00328 J/K.

The change in entropy of the cold container = 1/295 = 0.00339 J/K.

Therefore, the change in the entropy of the system = - 0.00328 J/K + 0.00339 J/K = 0.00011 JK.

Note that the change in entropy of the system gives a positive value. Hence, this process does not violate the second law of thermodynamics.

The process does NOT violate the second law of thermodynamics.

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation
