One-thousand moles of an ideal gas is compressed isothermally at 400 K from 100 kPa to 1000 kPa in a piston-cylinder arrangement. Calculate the entropy change of the gas, the entropy change of the surroundings and the total entropy change of the process for the following two cases:

(a) The process is mechanically reversible and the surroundings consist of a heat reservoir at 400 K.
(b) The process is mechanically reversible and the surroundings consist of a heat reservoir at 300 K.
