Show answer and solution
Answer: (D) P→5, Q→4, R→3, S→1
P: at constant volume , so P→5. Q: entropy is a state function, so for the gas ; the insulated container exchanges no heat, so the surroundings change by zero and : Q→4. R: in a reversible isothermal expansion the gas absorbs from the surroundings, so : R→3 (the system gains +5.76 and the universe total is 0). S: a reversible adiabatic process has , so : S→1. Item 2 (+5.76) is the entropy gain of the gas in R, not a listed answer. The correct code is P→5, Q→4, R→3, S→1.
