Draw the following processes on an Entropy/Temperature diagram for an ideal gas: (a) Isobaric, (b) Isochoric, (c) Isothermic, (d) adiabatic. Calculate the entropy change for each process for a change in temperature of 1K (for the isothermal process, assume the volume changes by 1m3).

One mole of an ideal gas is contained in a cylinder with a movable piston. The initial pressure, volume, and temperature are P_i, V_i, and T_i, respectively. Find the work done on the gas in the following processes. In operational terms, describe how to carry out each process and show each process on a PV diagram. (a) an isobaric compression in which the final volume is one-half the initial volume (b) an isothermal compression in which the final pressure is four times the initial pressure (c) an isovolumetric process in which the final pressure is three times the initial pressure.
