Entropy as a function of temperature and volume

Entropy as a function of temperature and volume

We can express the entropy as a function of temperature and volume.

It can be derived from the combination of the first and the second law for the closed system. For ideal gas the temperature dependence of entropy at constant volume is simply Cv over T. The volume dependence of entropy at constant temperature is R over volume for ideal gases.
