## Reversible systems

isochoric/isometric: $\Delta V = 0$
isothermal: $\Delta T = 0$
isobaric: $\Delta P = 0$

### Reversible systems

If there was a there is a change in volume and pressure, would we use Cv or Cp to calculate entropy?

### Re: Reversible systems

I believe you would have to use both because you have to add the change in entropy associated with volume and the change in entropy associated with pressure to find the total entropy change of the system.

Yep, you would find deltaS for the volume change, then the deltaS for the pressure change then add these values up to find deltaS total.

### Re: Reversible systems

In this case, both the pressure and volume contribute to the overall deltaS. Therefore, you would calculate each individually using Cp and Cv and add those respective values together.

Yes, you would calculate the change in entropy for the change in volume and the change in pressure, and add the entropy changes together.

### Re: Reversible systems

Yes since both change in volume and change in pressure increase entropy, you would would calculate the entropy from volume and pressure, then add them together.

### Re: Reversible systems

You would find the entropy change for both change in pressure and volume and add the net change for this reaction.

### Re: Reversible systems

Because both volume and pressure are changing, you would need to use both Cv and Cp
