Problem

A heat engine absorbs 4.0×103 J4.0 \times 10^{3}\,\text{J} of heat from a source at 500 K500\,\text{K} and rejects 3.0×103 J3.0 \times 10^{3}\,\text{J} of heat to a sink at 300 K300\,\text{K} in one complete cycle. Calculate the change in entropy of the universe, ΔSuniv\Delta S_{\text{univ}}, for this cycle. Give your answer in J K−1\text{J\,K}^{-1}.
