5 moles of a monoatomic ideal gas are contained adiabatically at 50 atm pressure and 300 K. The pressure is suddenly released to 10 atm, and the undergoes an irreversible expansion during which it performs 4000 joules of work. Show to the final temperature of the gas after the irreversible expansion is greater than that which the would attain if the expansion from 50 to 10 atm had been conducted reversibly. Calculate the entropy product as a result of the irreversible expansion. The constant-volume molar heat capacity of the Gas is Cv has a volume of 1.5 R.
