Question

For a sample of perfect gas when its pressure is changed isothermally from pi to pf, the entropy change is given by

Easy
Solution

For an ideal gas undergoing reversible expansion, when temperature changes fromTi to Tfand pressure changes from pi to pf,

ΔS=nCplnTfTi+nRlnPiPf

 For an isothermal process, Ti=Tf so, ln1=0

ΔS=nRlnPiPf
