Abstract
The entropy change for an ideal gas is calculated from temperature, pressure, or volume changes. A phase transition occurs reversibly if the system and surroundings temperatures are equal. Entropy is transferred from surroundings to system on vaporization. Vaporization of a liquid with a boiling point of 300 K and an enthalpy of vaporization of 24,000 J mol− 1 produces an entropy increase of
