It Can Be Shown That the Change in Entropy in Heating

question 67

Multiple Choice

It can be shown that the change in entropy in heating or cooling a sample is given by the relation ΔS = mc ln (T_F/T_i) , where m is the mass of the sample, c is the specific heat of the sample, and T_F and T_i are the final and initial temperatures, respectively.

• A) +2.93 J/K
• B) +2.50 J/K
• C) 0 J/K
• D) −2.93 J/K
