Question

The heat capacity at 1 atm. pressure of solid magnesium in the temperature range from 0°C to 560 °C, is given by the expression:
Cp = 6.20 + 1.33 x 10^-3 T + 6.78 x 10^4 T^-2 Cal. deg.^-1 g. atom.^-1
What is the increase of entropy per g. atom, for an increase of temperature from 300 K to 800 K at 1 atm. pressure?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Since the units of T to be substituted in the Cp equation is not mentioned.

Hence i'm assuming it to be Kelvin which is generally used.

Step 2

Please find below the formula and integration to find change in entropy of solid
