    The change in the entropy of a 1 mole of an ideal gas which went through an isothermal process from an initial state  \[({{P}_{1}},{{V}_{1}},T)\] to the final state \[({{P}_{2}},{{V}_{2}},T)\] is equal to

    A) Zero

    B)        \[R\,\,In\,\,T\]

    C) \[R\,\,In\,\,\frac{{{V}_{1}}}{{{V}_{2}}}\]    

    D)         \[R\,\,In\,\,\frac{{{V}_{2}}}{{{V}_{1}}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The change in entropy of an ideal gas \[\Delta S=\frac{\Delta Q}{T}\]                        .....(i) In isothermal process, temperature does not change, that is, internal energy which is a function of temperature will remain same, i.e., \[\Delta U=0\] First law of thermodynamics gives \[\Delta U=\Delta Q-W\Rightarrow 0=\Delta Q-W\Rightarrow \Delta Q=W\] i.e., \[\Delta Q\]= work done by gas in isothermal process which went through from \[({{P}_{1}},{{V}_{1}},T)\] to \[({{P}_{2}},{{V}_{2}},T)\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\Delta Q=\mu RT\log {{ & }_{e}}\left( \frac{{{V}_{2}}}{{{V}_{1}}} \right)\]                    ?..(ii) For 1 mole of an ideal gas, \[\mu =1,\] so from eqs. (i) and (ii) \[\Delta S=R\,{{\log }_{e}}\left( \frac{{{V}_{2}}}{{{V}_{1}}} \right)=R\,In\left( \frac{{{V}_{2}}}{{{V}_{1}}} \right)\]
