When one mole of an ideal gas is compressed to half its initial volume and simultaneously heated to twice to its initial temperature, the change in entropy (DS) is –
A
Cvln 2
B
Cpln 2
C
R ln 2
D
(Cv–R) ln 2
Answer
(Cv–R) ln 2
Explanation
Solution
DS = nCv lnT1T2 + nR lnV1V2
DS = Cv ln2 – R ln 2
DS = (Cv – R) ln 2
