Correct answer: D

  1. Entropy change for slow heating

For a substance heated reversibly from temperature T1T_1T1​ to T2T_2T2​, the entropy change is

dS=dQrevTdS = \frac{dQ_{\text{rev}}}{T}dS=TdQrev​​

Since the specific heat is constant,

dQ=mc dTdQ = mc\,dTdQ=mcdT

So,

dS=mc dTTdS = \frac{mc\,dT}{T}dS=TmcdT​

Integrating from T1T_1T1​ to T2T_2T2​,

ΔS=∫T1T2mc dTT=mc∫T1T2dTT\Delta S = \int_{T_1}^{T_2} \frac{mc\,dT}{T} = mc \int_{T_1}^{T_2} \frac{dT}{T}ΔS=∫T1​T2​​TmcdT​=mc∫T1​T2​​TdT​

ΔS=mcln⁡(T2T1)\Delta S = mc\ln\left(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right)ΔS=mcln(T1​T2​​)

  1. Given specific heat

The question gives specific heat of water as c=1c=1c=1 (though units appear misprinted; effectively take c=1c=1c=1).

Hence,

ΔS=mln⁡(T2T1)\Delta S = m\ln\left(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right)ΔS=mln(T1​T2​​)

  1. Check options
  • A: m(T2−T1)m(T_2-T_1)m(T2​−T1​) — this is not entropy.
  • B: zero — incorrect, entropy increases on heating.
  • C: mln⁡(T1T2)m\ln\left(\frac{T_1}{T_2}\right)mln(T2​T1​​) — wrong sign.
  • D: mln⁡(T2T1)m\ln\left(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right)mln(T1​T2​​) — correct.

Therefore, the correct option is D.
