For a sample of a perfect gas,when its pressure is changed isothermally from $p_i$ to $p_f$,the entropy change is given by:

  • A
    $\Delta S = nR \ln \left( \frac{p_f}{p_i} \right)$
  • B
    $\Delta S = nR \ln \left( \frac{p_i}{p_f} \right)$
  • C
    $\Delta S = nRT \ln \left( \frac{p_f}{p_i} \right)$
  • D
    $\Delta S = RT \ln \left( \frac{p_i}{p_f} \right)$
