Show answer and solution

Answer: (D) P→5, Q→4, R→3, S→1

P: at constant volume ΔS=CVln⁡(T2/T1)=32(8.314)ln⁡2=+8.64 J K−1\Delta S=C_V\ln(T_2/T_1)=\tfrac32(8.314)\ln2=+8.64\ \mathrm{J\,K^{-1}}, so P→5. Q: entropy is a state function, so for the gas ΔS=Rln⁡(V2/V1)=Rln⁡4=+11.53\Delta S=R\ln(V_2/V_1)=R\ln4=+11.53; the insulated container exchanges no heat, so the surroundings change by zero and ΔSuniverse=+11.53\Delta S_{universe}=+11.53: Q→4. R: in a reversible isothermal expansion the gas absorbs qrev=RTln⁡2q_{rev}=RT\ln2 from the surroundings, so ΔSsurr=−Rln⁡2=−5.76\Delta S_{surr}=-R\ln2=-5.76: R→3 (the system gains +5.76 and the universe total is 0). S: a reversible adiabatic process has qrev=0q_{rev}=0, so ΔSgas=0\Delta S_{gas}=0: 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.
