Problem

A sealed container is divided into two equal

5.0\,\text{L}

compartments by a removable partition. Initially each side contains

1.0\,\text{mol}

of the same ideal gas at

300\,\text{K}

. Consider the following four final situations after different operations: (A) Partition left in place; temperature remains

300\,\text{K}

. (B) Partition removed; gas fills the full

10\,\text{L}

volume at

300\,\text{K}

. (C) Same as (B) but the gas is then heated to

600\,\text{K}

. (D) Partition removed and the container is expanded to

20\,\text{L}

while the gas is cooled to

150\,\text{K}

. Rank the entropy of the gas in the final state for each situation from lowest to highest. a) A < B < C < D b) D < A < B < C c) A < D < B < C d) A < B < D < C
