You have two separate containers, one with 1 mol of carbon dioxide gas and the other with 2 mols of nitrogen gas. The pressure of both gases is 1 bar and the temperature is 25oC. Both cases can be treated as ideal gases for our purposes. Part A. What is the entropy of each individual gas in its own container. Part B. Now you mix the two gases together into one container, while maintaining a constant temperature and pressure. What is the mixing entropy? Part C. What is the total entropy of the separated gases and what is the total entropy of the combined gases. Part D. Use the following graph to interpret your result from part c. Explain how this graph reflects the equation you used to calculate the mixing entropy. Highlight the mixing entropy for the fraction of carbon dioxide encountered in this example. Is your result in part c what you expected? Provide a rationale for your answer.
