Problem 21.6

 
Animation 1 Animation 2 Animation 3

Please wait for the animation to completely load.

There is a time delay—since the system must be in equilibrium—before the change of state occurs.

In this animation N = nR (i.e., kB = 1). This, then, gives the ideal gas law as PV = NT.  Assume an ideal monatomic gas.  Restart.

Which temperature-entropy graph goes with the animation shown?  Explain.
