Transcript text: Question 2 Under which of the following conditions would one mole of Ne have the highest entropy, S? $137^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and 25 $27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and 25 L $137^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and 35 L $27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and 35 L

Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the factors affecting entropy

Entropy ($S$) is a measure of the disorder or randomness in a system. For a given amount of gas, entropy increases with temperature and volume.

Step 2: Compare temperatures

Higher temperatures result in higher entropy. Compare the given temperatures:

$137^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is higher than $27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$.

Step 3: Compare volumes

Higher volumes result in higher entropy. Compare the given volumes:

$35 \, \text{L}$ is higher than $25 \, \text{L}$.

Step 4: Determine the condition with the highest entropy

The condition with both the highest temperature and the highest volume will have the highest entropy. Therefore, $137^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and $35 \, \text{L}$ is the condition under which one mole of Ne would have the highest entropy.

Final Answer

$\boxed{137^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \text{ and } 35 \, \text{L}}$
