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 (TF/Ti) , where m is the mass of the sample, c is the specific heat of the sample, and TF and Ti are the final and initial temperatures, respectively. What is the change in entropy when 20.0 grams of aluminum with a specific heat of 0.900 J/g K is heated from 10.0°C to 60.0°C?
A) +2.93 J/K
B) +2.50 J/K
C) 0 J/K
D) −2.93 J/K
