Chemistry

1. In each of A-C, below, indicate whether:

a) the statement is possible under the laws of thermodynamics;b) the statement violates the FirstLaw; c) the statementviolates the Second Law. In the case of a Second Law violation,circle the name of the scientist whose version of the second law ismost simply and obviously broken. In each case there is a bestname, but feel free to explain your choice. (Adapted from BillReinhardt.)

A. A novel and reversible heatengine absorbs 10 kJ ofenergy from a high temperature bath, performs 8 kJ of work on thesurroundings, and exhausts 5 kJ of heat into a low temperature heatbath.

a. possible

b. violates First Law

c. violates Second Law: KelvinClausius Boltzmann

B. One night you wake up todiscover that all the air in your room has gone under your bed.Note that this happens with no change in energy ortemperature.

a. possible

b. violates First Law

c. violates Second Law: KelvinClausius Boltzmann

C. A novel & reversible heatengine absorbs 10 kJ of energy from a low temperature reservoir,performs 8 kJ of work on the surroundings, and exhausts 2 kJ ofenergy into a high temperature bath.

a. possible

b. violates First Law

c. violates Second Law: KelvinClausius Boltzmann
