Homework Statement



In the temperature range from 60 K to 80 K, a certain amount of liquid has a
temperature dependent heat capacity that is given by Cp = 20 J K−1 + T × 0.5 J K−2.
Determine the entropy change resulting from heating this sample from 60 K to 80 K.


Homework Equations


C=q/deltaT



The Attempt at a Solution



This one is confusing me. How does the temperature dependent heat capacity fit in, when the temperature is a range (60-80k)? Also, what equation should I use?
