2Cpln(T1+T2/4T1T2)
Cpln[(T1+T2)2/4T1T2]
2Cpln[T1+T2/2T1T2]
2Cpln((T1+T2)/2T1T2)
When two blocks are kept in contact with each other, the final temperature will be given as: Tf=(T1+T2)/2
Now, we have ΔSsys = ∫dqrev/T = nCp∫dT/T
For the first block of metal the entropy will be given as:
ΔS1 = nCp∫(Tf to T1)dT/T = nCpln(Tf/T1)
Similarly, ΔS2 = nCp∫(Tf to T2)dT/T = nCpln(Tf/T2)
Now, total change in entropy ΔS1 + ΔS2 = nCp[ln(Tf/T1) + ln(Tf/T2)] = nCp ln[(Tf/T1)(Tf/T2)] = nCp ln[(Tf)²/T1T2]
But , Tf = (T1+T2)/2
∴Final entropy will be: nCp ln[((T1+T2)/2)²/T1T2] = nCp ln[(T1+T2)²/4T1T2]
