At $10\, ^oC$,$1\, mol$ of an ideal gas is allowed to expand reversibly and adiabatically from $10\, L$ to $200\, L$. Calculate the change in entropy in $cal/K$.

The change of entropy $(dS)$ is defined as

If the enthalpy of vaporization for water is $186.5 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,the entropy of its vaporization will be ...... $J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$ (Assume the boiling point of water is $373 \ K$).

$STATEMENT-1:$ There is a natural asymmetry between converting work to heat and converting heat to work.
$STATEMENT-2:$ No process is possible in which the sole result is the absorption of heat from a reservoir and its complete conversion into work.

Which state functions are required to understand the second law of thermodynamics?

What is the change in entropy of the surroundings for the reaction, $H_2(g) + 1/2 O_2(g) \rightarrow H_2O(l)$ at $298 \text{ K}$, if the standard enthalpy of formation of water is $-286 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$?
