Step 4: The gas is cooled reversibly at a constant
volume of 15.00 L from 473.15 K to 373.15 K. Step 5:
The gas is compressed reversibly and isothermally
at 373.15 K from a volume of 15.00 L to a volume
of 10.00 L. Step 6: The gas is cooled reversibly
at a constant volume of 10.00 L from 373.15 K to
298.15 K.
b.Repeat the calculation with all steps the same as in part
a except that step 1 is carried out isothermally and
irreversibly with a constant external pressure of
1.000 atm.

approximations or other numerical procedure to solve
the cubic equation) and without neglecting the volume

b.Calculate the entropy change for the reversible process
with the same initial and final states as in part a, but in
which the gas is first heated at constant pressure and
then expanded isothermally. Again, integrate on the
path representing the actual process. Compare your

c.Calculate the entropy change of the surroundings in
each of the parts a and b.
