Answer

$$+0.723 \mathrm{\ J} / \mathrm{K} $$

Work Step by Step

The entropy change for block $R$ is $$ \Delta S_{R}=m c \ln \left(\frac{T_{f}}{T_{i R}}\right)=(0.101 \mathrm{kg})(386 \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K}) \ln \left(\frac{300.0 \mathrm{K}}{294.5 \mathrm{K}}\right)=+0.723 \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{K} $$
