Imagine an isolated, 10-liter cylinder containing one mole of ideal gas held in the left five liters of the cylinder by a piston, initially locked in place. The right half of the cylinder is evacuated; the entire system is maintained at constant temperature. When the piston is freed to move frictionlessly, we could track the motion of the piston and the volume in 1-liter increments. Calculate the change in entropy (in J mol^-1 K^-1) of the gas upon expansion after each of the five 1-liter increments. Demonstrate that the total entropy is indeed maximized when the expansion is complete. Make a table.

You wish to buy a new freezer for your basement. The primary use of the freezer will be to prepare ice for family parties. You have a very large family, with grandparents, parents, sisters, brothers, uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews, nieces, and grandchildren. As a result, family birthday parties are held every couple of weeks, and you need lots of ice for drinks. You want the freezer to convert 10.1 kg of water at 23.0°C to 10.1 kg of ice at
−9.4°C
in 2.00 h. But, in order to keep your electric bill down, you want the power rating of the freezer to stay below 100 W. From these requirements, you determine the minimum COP of the freezer that will satisfy your needs. (Consider that the specific heat of water is 4,186 J/(kg · °C), the specific heat of ice is 2,090 J/(kg · °C), the latent heat of fusion of water is 3.33 ✕ 105 J/kg, and the latent heat of vaporization of water is 2.26 ✕ 106 J/kg.)
