A PV diagram with vertical axis labeled P and horizontal axis labeled V. The origin is at the bottom left. Two tick marks on the horizontal axis are labeled V_0 and 2V_0. A tick mark on the vertical axis is labeled P_0. A horizontal line segment with a rightward arrow goes from the point (V_0, P_0) to (2V_0, P_0), representing the isobaric process. Dashed thin projection lines connect (V_0, P_0) down to the horizontal axis at V_0, and (2V_0, P_0) down to 2V_0. No other labels, lines, text, or axes appear.
PV diagram of the isobaric expansion.
A sample containing \(n\) moles of a monatomic ideal gas is initially at pressure \(P_0\), volume \(V_0\), and absolute temperature \(T_0\). The gas expands isobarically at pressure \(P_0\) to a final volume of \(2V_0\) by absorbing energy from a thermal reservoir maintained at a constant temperature \(T_{\text{res}} = 2T_0\). Which of the following expressions represents the change in entropy of the thermal reservoir, \(\Delta S_{\text{res}}\), during this expansion?
