Answer

The proof is below.

Work Step by Step

We know the following: $dQ = nC_pdT$ We also can take the derivative of both sides of the equation $ \Delta S = \frac{ Q}{T}$ to find : $ d S = \frac{ dQ}{T}$ Combining these two equations, it follows: $ dS = \frac{ nC_pdT}{T}$ $ S = \int_{T_1}^{T_2}\frac{ nC_pdT}{T}$ $S = nC_p ln (\frac{T_2}{T_1})$
