One mole of an ideal gas at300 Kin thermal contact with its surroundings expands isothermally from1.0 Lto2.0 Lagainst a constant pressure of3.0 atm. In this process, the change in entropy of the surroundings∆SsurrinJ K-1is:
1 L atm = 101.3 J

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

From1stlaw of thermodynamics,
qsys=∆U-w=0--Pext.∆V
=3.0 atm×2.0 L-1.0 L=3.0 L atm
∴∆Ssurr=qrevsurrT=-qsysT
=-3.0×101.3 J300 K
=-1.013 J/K
Alternate solution:
∆Ssurr=qsurrT=-qsysT=WsysT
∵For the isothermal process:
∆U=0qsys=-Wsys
∆Ssurr.=-PextVf-ViT
=-3(2-1)300×101.3
=-1.013  J/K
