Answer

$\Delta S = 23.0 J/K$

Work Step by Step

Change in entropy is give by $\Delta S = R ln (\frac{V_2}{V_1}) + C_V ln (\frac{T_2}{T_1})$ $\Delta S = R ln (\frac{2.00V_1}{V_1}) + \frac{3}{2}R ln (\frac{4.00T_1}{T_1})$ $\Delta S = R ln (2.00) + \frac{3}{2}R ln (2.00)^2$ $\Delta S = R ln (2.00) + 3R ln (2.00)$ $\Delta S = 4R ln (2.00)$ Where$ R = 8.31 j/K $ for universal gas constant. $\Delta S = 23.0 J/K$
