Question

Two ideal gases, $n_A$ moles of A and $n_{\mathrm{B}}$ moles of B , initially occupy distinct volumes $V_{\mathrm{A}}$ and $V_{\mathrm{B}}$ at different temperatures, $T_{\mathrm{A}}$ and $T_{\mathrm{B}}$. The molar heat capacities at constant pressure are $C_{\mathrm{A}}$ and $C_{\mathrm{B}} . \mathrm{A}$ and B are combined to make a total volume $V_{\mathrm{A}}+V_{\mathrm{B}}$ at equilibrium. First write an equation for the total $\Delta S$ of this process in terms of the parameters above and the final temperature $T_f$. Then find the equation for $T_f$.

two-vessels-mathrma-and-mathrmb-each-contain-boldsymboln-molecules-of-the-same-perfect-monatomic-gas

Two vessels $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$ each contain $\boldsymbol{N}$ molecules of the same perfect monatomic gas. Initially the two vessels are thermally isolated from each other, the two gases being at the same pressure $P$, and at temperatures $T_{\mathrm{A}}$ and $T_{\mathrm{B}}$ respectively. The two vessels are now brought into thermal contact, the pressure of the gases being kept constant at the value $P$. Find the change in entropy of the system after equilibrium is established, and show that this change is non-negative.

(c) Consider a "system" composed of two equal-volume containers of ideal gas sitting next to each other, where the container walls are adiabatic. One container has nA moles of gas A, at temperature TA and pressure PA. The other has nB moles of gas B, at temperature TB > TA and pressure PB. Suppose the specific heat of gas A is (3/2)R, and of gas B is (5/2)R. The containers are connected to each other through a valve, which is initially closed. If you open the valve, such that the gases flow freely between the containers and equilibrate to a final temperature TF, by how much does the entropy of the "system" increase?

a-system-consists-initially-of-n_mathrma-moles-of-gas-mathrma-at-pressure-p-and-temperature-t-and-n_

A system consists initially of $n_{\mathrm{A}}$ moles of gas $\mathrm{A}$ at pressure $p$ and temperature $T$ and $n_{\mathrm{B}}$ moles of gas B separate from gas A but at the same pressure and temperature. The gases are allowed to mix with no heat or work interactions with the surroundings. The final equilibrium pressure and temperature are $p$ and $T$, respectively, and the mixing occurs with no change in total volume. (a) Assuming ideal gas behavior, obtain an expression for the entropy produced in terms of $\bar{R}, n_{\mathrm{A}}$, and $n_{\mathrm{B}}$ (b) Using the result of part (a), demonstrate that the entropy produced has a positive value. (c) Would entropy be produced when samples of the same gas at the same temperature and pressure mix? Explain.

00:02 The given pound -holtz free energy calculation.
00:05 So for this part, we have to determine the temperature and the dependence with concentration.
00:14 So always remember at equilibrium temperature, pound -holtz free energy should be minimum and differentiating f with respect to n and equating it with zero.
00:27 So we get df over dn, which is equal to zero.
00:33 So here we have e minus kt, so negative one minus lnn plus one plus lnn minus n, which is equals to zero.
00:49 So we have e is equals to kt.
00:52 We have lnn minus n divided by n.
00:57 So we have n minus n divided by n.
01:00 So we have equal to e...
