5.4 CALCULATING CHANGES IN ENTROPY 95
1.35 bar to a pressure of 3.45 bar. The entropy change for this process is obtained
using Equation (5.23) with the value of b = 1>T from Example Problem 5.4.

EXAMPLE PROBLEM 5.6

terized by T = 300. K and P = 1.00 bar to a final state characterized by T = 600. K

b. What is the ratio of the pressure-dependent term to the temperature-dependent
term in ¢S ? Explain your result.
Solution
a. Because the volume changes only slightly with temperature and pressure over the
range indicated,

b. The ratio of the pressure-dependent to the temperature-dependent term is
–5
–3 10 . Because the volume change with pressure is very small, the
contribution of the pressure-dependent term is negligible in comparison with
the temperature-dependent term.
As Example Problem 5.6 shows, ¢S for a liquid or solid as both P and T change is
dominated by the temperature dependence of S. Unless the change in pressure is very
large, ¢S for liquids and solids can be considered to be a function of temperature only.
