Constant Volume and Constant Pressure
Posted: Thu Mar 16, 2017 11:33 am
Homework problem 9.7 that wants us to find the entropy change of 1 mol of ideal gas with a temperature change under constant pressure and constant volume. For the final, would we need to know that constant pressure is (5/2)R and that constant volume is (3/2)R? Also, for that same problem, how can something expand reversibly under constant pressure? I thought that constant pressure implied that an expansion was irreversible?
