Calculate \(\Delta S\) (for the system) when the state of 2.00 mol of gas molecules, for which \(C_{p, m}=\frac{7}{2} R\), is changed from \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and 1.50 atm to \(135^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and 7.00 atm. Text Transcription: deltaS C_p,m = 7/2R 25 degree C 135 degree C

Question
A block of copper of mass 500 g and initially at 293 K is in thermal contact with an electric heater of resistance \(1.00 \mathrm{k} \Omega\) and negligible mass. A current of 1.00 A is passed for 15.0 s. Calculate the change in entropy of the copper, taking \(C_{p, \mathrm{m}}=24.4 \ \mathrm{JK}^{-1} \ \mathrm{mol}^{-1}\). The experiment is then repeated with the copper immersed in a stream of water that maintains the temperature of the copper block at 293 K. Calculate the change in entropy of the copper and the water in this case.

Solution
The first step in solving 3B problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A block of copper of mass 500 g and initially at 293 K is in thermal contact with an electric heater of resistance \(1.00 \mathrm{k} \Omega\) and negligible mass.
