An ideal gas undergoes two processes: one frictionless and the other not. In both the cases, the gas is initially at 200 ℉ and 1.5 atm, and when the process is over, the gas is at 700 °F and 22 atm. For which process does the gas experience a greater change in entropy?

The process which has friction

Explanation:

The entropy is simply the change in the state of the things or the molecules in the system. It is simply the change in the energy of the system with a focus on the atoms in the system. This is also known as the internal energy of the system and is given the symbol, G. The friction contributes to the change in the energy of the system. This is because friction generates another form of energy - that is heat energy. This energy causes the internal temperature id the system to increase. Hence the greater change in the temperature.
