Is the entropy change of the ideal gas equals zero?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the entropy change of an ideal gas, questioning whether it equals zero or can be calculated using the formula "Q/T," with specific values provided (Q=200kJ, T=313K). Participants express confusion about thermodynamic principles, particularly regarding entropy. The thread highlights the need for clarification on these concepts, especially for students struggling with thermodynamics. The conversation also notes a perceived imbalance between novice questions and expert responses in the forum. Overall, the inquiry seeks guidance on understanding entropy changes in ideal gases.

Hi all!
I'm a bit puzzled about this question.
Is the entropy change of the ideal gas equals zero?
And for the second part, is it equal to "Q/T" where Q=200kJ and T=40+273?
I'm not sure about how to handle it...please help.

Sorry mate, I failed thermo last semester. :D
Passing it this year though!

It does seem like this forum has too many novices for the experts to handle.
 
I've moved this thread to the college homework zone.
 

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
