Chapter 15: Q30CQ (page 549)

Does a gas become more orderly when it liquefies? Does its entropy change? If so, does the entropy increase or decrease? Explain your answer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

As a gas liquefies into a liquid, the entropy decreases.

Step by step solution

01

Describe how orderliness changes with the state of the system.

In its solid form, a system will be highly ordered. Its orderliness is reduced when it transforms from a solid to a liquid or gaseous form. Because orderliness depends on how the particles are arranged in a system. As the gas changes to liquid in this situation, the particles get closer together and the arrangement becomes more orderly. As a result, the system becomes more orderly.

02

Describe how the entropy changes as the gas liquifies.

In a gas, the space between the particles is greater, allowing them to move randomly and increasing the entropy. Because the measure of randomness is entropy. When a gas liquefies, the particles get closer together, and the gas's ability to move diminishes. It became less disordered and less random. As a result, entropy decreases.

So, the entropy of the system will be reduced when it changes from a gaseous state to a liquid state.

Describe the photo of the tea kettle at the beginning of this section in terms of heat transfer, work done, and internal energy. How is heat being transferred? What is the work done and what is doing it? How does the kettle maintain its internal energy?

(a) What is the hot reservoir temperature of a Carnot engine that has an efficiency of \({\bf{42}}{\bf{.0\% }}\)and a cold reservoir temperature of \({\bf{27}}{\bf{.0}}\;{\bf{^\circ C}}\)? (b) What must the hot reservoir temperature be for a real heat engine that achieves \({\bf{0}}{\bf{.700}}\) of the maximum efficiency, but still has an efficiency of \({\bf{42}}{\bf{.0\% }}\) (and a cold reservoir at \({\bf{27}}{\bf{.0}}\;{\bf{^\circ C}}\))? (c) Does your answer imply practical limits to the efficiency of car gasoline engines?

The temperature of a rapidly expanding gas decreases. Explain why in terms of the first law of thermodynamics. (Hint: Consider whether the gas does work and whether heat transfer occurs rapidly into the gas through conduction.)

What is the change in internal energy of a car if you put 12.0 gal of gasoline into its tank? The energy content of gasoline is 1.3脳108 J/gal. All other factors, such as the car鈥檚 temperature, are constant.
