Entropy of an ideal gas depends upon its__________________?

Correct answer: C. Both A. & B

  • A. Pressure
  • B. Temperature
  • C. Both A. & B
  • D. Neither A. nor B

Explanation

For an ideal gas, entropy changes according to both temperature and pressure, for example Δs = Cp ln(T2/T1) − R ln(P2/P1). Hence pressure cannot be omitted even though ideal-gas molecules have no intermolecular forces.
