Solution

The correct option is C 0.813 J/K mol
As data given:
Cp at 10K=0.40 J/Kmol
0.40=aT3+bT
0.40=a(10)3+b(10) (1)
Cp at 20K=0.92 J/Kmol
0.92=a(20)3+b(20) (2)
On solving 1 and 2 we get
a=2×105
b=0.038
The entropy of perfect crystals can be calculated at any given temperature by
ΔS=ST(K)S0(K)=200nCp×dTT
.. .S0(K) Entropy at absolute temp=0
ΔS=200(aT3+bT)TdT
ΔS=aT33+bT|200=0.813J/Kmol
