Question

Consider a system consisting of a cylinder with a movable piston containing 106 gas molecules at 298 K at a volume of 1 L. Consider the following descriptions of this system:a.Initial system, as stated in the problem statement.b. Starting from the initial system, the volume of the container is changed to 2 L and the temperature to 395 K.c. Starting from the initial system, a combination reaction occurs at constant volume and temperature.d. Starting from the initial system, the gas reacts completely to produce 107 gas molecules at 395 K in a volume of 2 L.e. Starting from the initial system, the temperature is changed to 395 K at constant volume.f. Arrange the descriptions in order of increasing number of microstates in the resulting system.

Answer 1

The order of increasing number of micro states in the resulting system is 3 < 1 < 5 < 2 < 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

A micro state is a specific way in which we can arrange the energy of the system.Many of then are indistinguishable to each other higher the entropy.

Increase the temperature a volume makes more micro states.

Therefore, the descriptions in order of the increasing number of micro states .

Therefore, the increasing order of micro states in the resulting system is as follows.

3 < 1 < 5 < 2 < 4.
