(14.1.50) 0.03 mol of helium are enclosed in a cylinder with a piston which maintains a constant pressure in the helium. Initial
ly the helium is immersed in thermal bath with at 250K. Suddenly, the helium is removed from this thermal bath and plunged into a thermal bath at temperature 350K. Determine (a) the increase in the entropy of the helium. (Hint the entropy change for the helium is the same as if it had been taken through this temperature change by a reversible process.) (b) the increase in entropy of the universe. (Answer: 0.032 J/K)

Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, for this heat transfer process in which the heat lost by the hot platinum is gained by the cold deuterium oxide based on the equation:
We can represent the heats in terms of mass, heat capacities and temperatures:
Thus, we solve for the mass of platinum:
Next, by using the density of platinum we compute the volume:
Which computed in terms of the edge length is:
Therefore, the edge length turns out:
Best regards.
