Expert Solution
Step 1

As per Bartleby rules, we are to answer the first three sub-parts of a question when specific sub-parts are not requested. Please ask the remaining sub-parts in a different question. Continuing with our answer...

 

The change in entropy of an environment is given by S = QTrev, where

Q is the heat transfer,

T is the temperature of the environment.
