A cylinder and piston arrangement is made of an excellent conductor in contact with a thermal reservoir at 38°C and is filled with an ideal gas. The gas is slowly compressed in an isothermal process in which 80 J of work are done on the gas. (a) What is the change in entropy of the gas? (b) What is the change in entropy of the thermal reservoir? (c) What is the net change in entropy of the universe?
