PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY FINAL EXAM REVISION PROBLEMS 2024/2025. THE
LATEST REVISION QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS IN 2024/2025.
(ALREADY GRADED A+) (LATEST 2024 UPDATE)



Draw a Carnot cycle diagram and describe the event occurring at each step - ANSWER- I)
Reversible Isothermal Expansion

II) Reversible Adiabatic Expansion

III) Reversible Isothermal Compression

IV) Reversible Adiabatic Compression

The boiling point of water at a pressure of 50 atm is 538 K. Compare the theoretical efficiencies
of a steam engine operating between:

1) The boiling point of water at 1 atm

2) 50 atm, assuming the temperature of the sink to be 308 K - ANSWER- 1) P(1)=1 atm

T(C)=308 K

T(H)=373 K

η=1-(T(C)/T(H))



η=17%



2) P=50 atm

T(C)=308 K

T(H)=538 K

η=1-(T(C)/T(H))

,η=43%

The temperature of 20 L N(2) at 5.00 kPa is increased from 293 K to 673 K at constant volume.
Calculate the change in entropy. Assume ideal behavior - ANSWER- V=0.02 m^3

T(1)=293 K

T(2)=673 K

P=5000 Pa

C(V)=20.8 (Diatomic)

n=PV/RT

ΔS=nC(V)ln(T(2)/T(1))



n= 0.041 mol

ΔS=0.71 J/K

If 1.00 mol N(2) gas expands isothermally from 22.0 L to 44.0 L. What is the entropy change?
Assume ideal behavior. - ANSWER- n=1 mol

V(1)=22.0 L

V(2)=44.0 L

ΔS=nRln(V(2)/V(1))



ΔS=5.76 J/K

Calculate the change in entropy when 1 mol of a perfect gas expands isothermally to twice its
initial volume



1) Reversibly

, 2) Irreversibly - ANSWER- 1) n=1 mol

V(2)/V(1)=2

ΔS=nRln(V(2)/V(1))-nRln(V(2)/V(1))



ΔS= 0



2) n=1 mol

V(2)/V(1)=2

ΔS=nRln(V(2)/V(1))



ΔS=5.76 J/K

Determine the change in entropy when 1 mol of He at 298 K and 1.5 atm expands isothermally to
298 K and 15 atm, then expands isobarically to 100 K and 15 atm. - ANSWER- n=1 mol

C(P)=20.8

T(1)=298 K

T(2)= 100 K

P(1)=1.5 atm

P(2)=15 atm

ΔS=nC(P)ln(T(2)/T(1))+nRln(P(1)/P(2))



ΔS=-41.84 J/K

Calculate q, w, ΔU, ΔH, ΔS(system), and ΔS(universe) for 2 mol of a monoatomic ideal gas at 300
K and 5 L that expands adiabatically to 20 L at 250 K. - ANSWER- q=0
