\(\triangle S = C_vdn\frac {T_2}{T_1} + nR\,ln\frac{V_2}{V_1}\)

\(\because \triangle T = 0 \)   (isothermally)

\(\therefore \triangle S = nR\, ln \frac {V_2}{V_1}\)   ......(i)

Using boyle's law PV = constant

\(P_1V_1 = P_2V_2 = constant\)

\(\frac{V_2}{V_1} = \frac {P_1}{P_2}\)    ......(ii)

From equation (i) & (ii)

\(\triangle S = nR\, ln \frac {P_1}{P_2}\)

\(\triangle S =- nR\, ln \frac {P_2}{P_1}\)

Using ideal gas equation-

\(PV = nRT\)

\(P_1 \times 20 = 2 \times 0.0821 \times 243.6\)

\(P_1 = 2atm\)

given, \(P_2 = 1atm\)

\(\triangle S =- 2\times 8.314\; ln\frac 12\)

\(= 2 \times 8.34 \times ln2\)

\(= 11.53 J/K\)

\(\triangle S = 2.76 \,cal/K\)
