Answer

(a) $365K$ (b) increase (c) $1.52KJ/K$ (d) $555KJ;555KJ$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the required temperature as follows: $T=\frac{PV}{nR}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $T=\frac{(100KPa)(4m^3)}{(132mol)(8.31J/mol.K)}$ $T=0.365\times 10^3K$ $T=365K$ (b) The entropy of the system increases because the heat is added to the system at constant temperature. (c) We can find the change in entropy as follows: $\Delta S=\frac{nRTln(\frac{V_f}{V_i})}{T}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\Delta S=(132mol)(8.31J/mol.K)\ln(\frac{4m^3}{1m^3})$ $\Delta S=1.52KJ/K$ (d) We know that $W=nRT\ln(\frac{V_f}{V_i})$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $W=(132mol)(365K)(8.31J/mol.K)\ln(\frac{4m^3}{1m^3})$ $W=555KJ$ Now $T.\Delta S=365K\times 1.52KJ/K=555KJ$
