A rigid

3.0\,\text{L}

container holds

1.0\,\text{mol}

of an ideal monatomic gas at

400\,\text{K}

. Which single change would result in the greatest increase in the entropy of the gas? (a) Heating the gas to

800\,\text{K}

at constant volume (b) Expanding the gas to

12\,\text{L}

at constant temperature

400\,\text{K}

800\,\text{K}

and expanding it to

6.0\,\text{L}

(d) Compressing the gas to

1.5\,\text{L}

while cooling it to

200\,\text{K}
