Answer

$\Delta S_{copper}=-27.1\frac{J}{K}$

Work Step by Step

We know that: $\Delta S_{copper}=\int_{353}^{314}\frac{cm dT}{T}$ where $40.9^{\circ}C=314K$ and $80.0^{\circ}C=353$K The above equation can be written as: $\Delta S_{copper}=cm\ln(\frac{T_f}{T_i})$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\Delta S_{copper}=386(0.600)\ln(\frac{314}{353})=-27.1\frac{J}{K}$
