Problem

During an isothermal process,

600\;\text{J}

of energy is transferred as heat from a gas at a constant temperature of

300\;\text{K}

to its surroundings. The gas is confined in a rigid, sealed container so that no mass leaves or enters. What is the change in entropy of the gas? (a)

0\;\text{J/K}

(b)

+2.0\;\text{J/K}

(c)

-2.0\;\text{J/K}

(d)

-2.2\;\text{J/K}
