    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)  \[R\ln T\]

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

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

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Key Idea: In an isothermal process, there is no change in internal energy of gas, i.e., \[\Delta U=0\]. The change in entropy of an ideal gas                 \[\Delta S=\frac{\Delta Q}{T}\] ... (i) In isothermal process, there is no change in internal energy of gas, i.e., \[\Delta U=0\]. \[\therefore \]  \[\Delta U=\Delta Q-W\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[0=\Delta Q-W\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\Delta Q=W\] i.e., AQ = work done by gas in isothermal process which went through from \[({{P}_{1}},{{V}_{1}},T)\] to \[({{P}_{2}},{{V}_{2}},T)\] or            \[\Delta Q=\mu RT\,{{\log }_{e}}\left( \frac{{{V}_{2}}}{{{V}_{1}}} \right)\] ... (ii) For 1 mole of an ideal gas, u == 1 So, from Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get or            \[\Delta S=R{{\log }_{e}}\,\,\left( \frac{{{V}_{2}}}{{{V}_{1}}} \right)\] \[=R\ln \left( \frac{{{V}_{2}}}{{{V}_{1}}} \right)\]
