Homework Statement
A sample of 1.00 mol of an ideal diatomic gas, initially at pressure P and volume V, expands until it has a pressure of 2P and a volume of 2V. What's the entropy change in the gas on this process?
Homework Equations
2nd Maxwell relation:
4th Maxwell relation:
PV = nRT
The Attempt at a Solution
[tex]\frac{\partial S}{\partial V}= \frac{nR}{V}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\partial S}{\partial P} = -\frac{nR}{P}[/tex]
I found out S by doing the standard procedure: integrating the first one and deriving in relation to P to find the function in relation to P. The expression for S i found was:
[tex]S=nR(lnV-lnP)[/tex]
But the variation of S is always 0 this way, and that's not the solution...
