A lonely party balloon with a volume of 2.402.40 L and containing 0.1000.100 mol of air is left behind to drift in the temporarily uninhabited and depressurized International Space Station. Sunlight coming through a porthole heats and explodes the balloon, causing the air in it to undergo a free expansion into the empty station, whose total volume is 425425 m3. Calculate the entropy change of the air during the expansion.

Understand the concept of entropy change during free expansion: In a free expansion, the gas expands into a vacuum without doing work and without heat exchange. The entropy change is determined by the change in the number of accessible microstates.
Identify the initial and final states of the system: Initially, the air is confined to a volume of 2.40 L. After expansion, it occupies the entire volume of the space station, which is 425 m³. Convert the initial volume to cubic meters for consistency: 2.40 L = 0.00240 m³.
Use the formula for entropy change in free expansion: The entropy change \( \Delta S \) can be calculated using the formula \( \Delta S = nR \ln \left( \frac{V_f}{V_i} \right) \), where \( n \) is the number of moles, \( R \) is the ideal gas constant (8.314 J/mol·K), \( V_f \) is the final volume, and \( V_i \) is the initial volume.
Substitute the known values into the formula: \( n = 0.100 \) mol, \( V_i = 0.00240 \) m³, \( V_f = 425 \) m³, and \( R = 8.314 \) J/mol·K. Calculate the natural logarithm of the volume ratio \( \ln \left( \frac{425}{0.00240} \right) \).
Calculate the entropy change \( \Delta S \) using the substituted values: \( \Delta S = 0.100 \times 8.314 \times \ln \left( \frac{425}{0.00240} \right) \). This will give you the entropy change in joules per kelvin (J/K).

Entropy

Entropy is a measure of the disorder or randomness in a system. In thermodynamics, it quantifies the amount of energy in a system that is unavailable to do work. During a free expansion, such as the one described in the question, the entropy of the system increases because the gas molecules spread out into a larger volume, increasing disorder.

Intro to Entropy

Free Expansion

Free expansion is a process where a gas expands into an evacuated space without doing work on the surroundings and without heat exchange. It is an irreversible process, and in an ideal gas, it results in an increase in entropy. The internal energy remains constant because no work is done and no heat is transferred.

Ideal Gas Law

The Ideal Gas Law is a fundamental equation in thermodynamics, expressed as PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant, and T is temperature. It describes the behavior of an ideal gas and is used to relate the initial and final states of the gas in processes like expansion, helping to calculate changes in properties such as entropy.
