    1. What is the increase in entropy if one gram of ice at OoC is melted and heated to500C?

    2. Find the change in entropy if 500 g of water at 80o C is added to 300 g of water at20o C. (None of the heat is lost from the system.)

    3. Consider a mole of a gas initially at 1 (P1, V1) and finally at 2 (P2, V2). SinceS2 S1 is path independent, choose the simple path shown in Figure (1) by firstchanging pressure at constant volume and then volume at constant pressure. Let0 = (P0, T0) be the intermediate point you go through. Show that

    S2 S1 = CP ln

    Show that if 1 and 2 lie on an adiabatic curve, this difference vanishes. AssumeCp = CV + R, but not a particular value to CV .
