The entropy versus temperature plot for phases α and β at 1 bar pressure is given. ST and S0 are entropies of the phases at temperatures T and 0 K, respectively.

Figure

The transition temperature for α to β phase change is 600 K and Cp,β-Cp,α=1 J mol-1 K-1. Assume Cp,β-Cp,α is independent of temperature in the range of 200 to 700 K.Cp,α and Cp,β are heat capacities of α and β phases, respectively.


The value of entropy change, Sβ-Sα (in Jmol-1 K-1 ), at 300 K is [Use: ln 2=0.690. Given: Sβ-Sα=0 at 0 K ]

Correct answer: 0.31

Solution

S=S0+∫CpdTT

Sα=S0+∫CpαdTT

Sβ=S0+∫CpβdTT

Now, 

Sβ-Sα=S0+∫Cpβ-CpαdTT

Given  Cpβ-Cpα=1

Sβ-Sα=lnT+C at any temperature of T

Sβ-SαT2-Sβ-SαT1=lnT2-lnT1

T2=600K , T1=300 K and Sβ-Sα=1 at 600 K

1-Sβ-Sα300=ln600 -ln300⇒Sβ-Sα=1-0.69=0.31 

Hence, the correct answer is 0.31.
