Answer #1

Entropy is the measure of total disorderness or randomness.

The relation between change in entropy with flow of heat at certain temperature is

= Change in entropy

Q= Heat flow which is positive.(heat flow into the reservoir is positive)

T= temperature in kelvin

Now we have

Now apply

So the change in entropy is 0.40JK-1.
