Entropy in isothermal expansion

In summary, the conversation discusses finding the temperature, mass, volume, work, heat, and entropy for an air system undergoing isothermal expansion. The values for T2, M, V2, L, and Q were all calculated, but there is uncertainty about how to calculate the entropy values (s1 and s2). However, the solution has been found by adjusting the formula and using the given values for normal pressure and temperature.

Air:
V1= 0,1 m3
P1= 1 MPa
T1= 20 C
After isothermal expansion P2= 0,1 MPa

I had to find T2, M, V2, L, Q and found all those (T2=20 C; M=1,1927 kg; V2=1 m3; L=Q=230258 J) but need s (enthropy) for creating illustration in T-s
I can`t find how it`s possible to calculate s1 and s2, is it possible at all or is it possible to find only delta s?

I already found the solution. :)

S2 with same formula, just had to change P with P2 (if finding S1, then P=P1), Cp was 1000, P0 is normal pressure (760 mm HG), T0 is normal temperature (273,15 K)
 

Related to Entropy in isothermal expansion

What is entropy in isothermal expansion?

Entropy is a measure of the disorder or randomness of a system. In isothermal expansion, entropy refers to the change in disorder or randomness of a gas as it expands at a constant temperature.

How does entropy change during isothermal expansion?

Entropy increases during isothermal expansion because as the gas expands, the number of microstates or possible arrangements of molecules increases, leading to a greater amount of disorder.

What is the relationship between entropy and energy in isothermal expansion?

In isothermal expansion, the change in entropy is directly proportional to the change in energy. This means that as the gas expands and its energy increases, so does its entropy.

What is the impact of pressure on entropy in isothermal expansion?

In isothermal expansion, pressure has no effect on entropy because the temperature is kept constant. However, changes in pressure can affect the work done by the gas, which can in turn affect the change in entropy.

Can entropy decrease in isothermal expansion?

No, entropy does not decrease in isothermal expansion. This is because the second law of thermodynamics states that entropy always increases or remains constant in a closed system. In order for entropy to decrease, work must be done on the system, which would then not be considered isothermal expansion.
