Answer

$2.625\frac{J}{K}$

Work Step by Step

The change in entropy in hot reservoir is $dS_h=\frac{Q_h}{T_h}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $dS_h=\frac{6400}{610}=10.5\frac{J}{K}$ The change in entropy in cold reservoir is $dS_c=\frac{Q_c}{T_c}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $dS_c=\frac{4200}{320}=13.125\frac{J}{K}$ Now, the total change in entropy is $dS_c-dS_h=13.125-10.5=2.625\frac{J}{K}$
