10PRACTICE PROBLEM
Determine the equation for entropy change in the given scenario: In a greenhouse with a total volume of V, two different gases, P and Q, are initially separated by a transparent curtain. Gases mix and disperse when the curtain is removed. At the same temperature, gas P, produced by plants, occupies a volume fraction of qP and contains nP moles, while gas Q, formed by decomposing organic matter, occupies a volume fraction qQ and contains nQ moles.
