The entropy versus temperature plot for phases α and β at 1 bar pressure is given. ST and S0 are entropies of the phases at temperatures T and 0 K, respectively.

The transition temperature for α to β phase change is 600 K and Cp,β-Cp,α=1 J mol-1 K-1. Assume Cp,β-Cp,α is independent of temperature in the range of 200 to 700 K.Cp,α and Cp,β are heat capacities of α and β phases, respectively.

The value of entropy change, Sβ-Sα (in Jmol-1 K-1 ), at 300 K is [Use: ln 2=0.690. Given: Sβ-Sα=0 at 0 K ]

Solution

S=S0+CpdTT

Sα=S0+CpαdTT

Sβ=S0+CpβdTT

Now, 

Sβ-Sα=S0+Cpβ-CpαdTT

Given  Cpβ-Cpα=1

Sβ-Sα=lnT+C at any temperature of T

Sβ-SαT2-Sβ-SαT1=lnT2-lnT1

T2=600K , T1=300 K and Sβ-Sα=1 at 600 K

1-Sβ-Sα300=ln600 -ln300Sβ-Sα=1-0.69=0.31
