Multiple Choice
An ideal gas, consisting of n moles, undergoes a reversible isothermal process during which the volume changes from Vi to Vf.The change in entropy of the thermal reservoir in contact with the gas is given by:
A) nR(Vf - Vi)
B) nR ln(Vf - Vi)
C) nR ln(Vi/Vf)
D) nR ln(Vf/Vi)
E) none of the above (entropy can't be calculated for the thermal reservoir)
