Q.

A solid body of constant heat capacity 1 J/°C is being heated by keeping it in contact with reservoirs in two ways :                [2012]

(i) Sequentially keeping in contact with 2 reservoirs such that each reservoir supplies same amount of heat.

(ii) Sequentially keeping in contact with 8 reservoirs such that each reservoir supplies same amount of heat.

In both the cases body is brought from initial temperature 100°C to final temperature 200°C. Entropy change of the body in the two cases respectively is :

1 ln2, 2ln2  
2 2ln2, 8ln2  
3 ln2, 4ln2  
4 ln2, ln2  

Ans.

(4)

The entropy change of the body in the two cases is same as entropy is a state function.
