Question

an ideal gas in thermal contact with the surroundings is cooled in an irreversible process at constant pressure.

Answer 1

Are \[\Delta S, \Delta S _{surroundings}, and \Delta S _{total} \] positive, negative or sero explain.

Answer 2

constant P is called an isobaric _

entropy in a closed system never decreases, stays the same or increases.

entropy in an open system ( contact with surroundings)

\[\Delta S_{tot} = \Delta S + \Delta S_{sur}>0\]

the total entropy of any system plus that of surroundings increase as a result of any natural process.
