Answer

$9.59\frac{W}{K}$

Work Step by Step

We know that Rate of change of entropy inside house is given as $dS=\frac{dQ}{dT}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $dS=\frac{-20KJ}{295}=-67.78\frac{J}{K}$ Similarly, Rate of change of entropy outside house is given as $dS=\frac{dQ}{dT}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $dS=\frac{20KJ}{258.5}=77.37\frac{J}{K}$ Now the total change in entropy$= 77.37-67.78=9.59\frac{J}{K}$ and the rate of change of entropy is $\frac{9.59\frac{J}{K}}{s}=9.59\frac{W}{K}$
