I came to that realization not too long ago thankfully. I am glad for the clarification. I thought I was going mad for a second. Thank you so much!

Yeah I started thinking it over and it wouldn't make sense. I thought I had read somewhere that if it is reversible it is 0. I am sorry I thought I had specified that initial temperature. It is at 298 K I used ΔU = -PextΔV ΔU = =-(50.00 atm)(4.00 L - 10.00 L) = 300 J 300 J = n(3/2)R(Tf - Ti)...

Homework Statement A monatomic ideal gas is compressed adiabatically. What is ΔS of the gas? n = 1.00 vi = 10.00 L vf = 4.00 L Constant External Pressure = 50.00 atm Homework Equations ΔU = q + w = 0 + (-PextΔV) ΔS = ∫[(qrev)/T]dQ The Attempt at a Solution In order to...
