Answer

$152.65\,JK^{-1}mol^{-1}$

Work Step by Step

Entropy variation with the temperature at constant-volume is given by the equation $S(T_{f})=S(T_{i})+C_{v}\ln\frac{T_{f}}{T_{i}}$ From table 2C.5, we have, for argon, $C_{p}=20.786\,J\,K^{-1}mol^{-1}$ $C_{v}=C_{p}-R=(20.786-8.314)\,J\,K^{-1}mol^{-1}$ $=12.472\,J\,K^{-1}mol^{-1}$ $S(T_{i})=S(298\,K)=154.84\,J\,K^{-1}mol^{-1}$ Then, $S(T_{f})=S(250\,K)$ $=(154.84\,J\,K^{-1}mol^{-1})+(12.472\,J\,K^{-1}mol^{-1})\ln\frac{250}{298}$ $=152.65\,JK^{-1}mol^{-1}$
