Answer

$\Delta S = 3.78 \times 10^3 J/K$

Work Step by Step

$Q_H = (0.0286 gal) × (1.23 ×10^8 J/gal) $ $Q_H = 3.52 ×10^6 J$ $Q_C = 3/4 \times Q_H$ $Q_C = 3/4 \times 3.52 ×10^6 J$ $Q_C = 2.64 \times 10^6 J$ $\Delta S = \frac{Q_H}{T_H} + \frac{Q_C}{T_C} $ $\Delta S = \frac{-3.52 ×10^6 J}{673 K} + \frac{2.64 \times 10^6 J}{293K} $ $\Delta S = 3.78 \times 10^3 J/K$
