Identify the formula for the entropy change of an ideal gas during expansion at constant temperature: ΔS = R ln(V_f/V_i).
Substitute the given initial volume (V_i = 2.0 L) and final volume (V_f = 4.0 L) into the formula.
Calculate the ratio of the final volume to the initial volume: V_f/V_i = 4.0 L / 2.0 L.
Simplify the ratio to find the value inside the natural logarithm: V_f/V_i = 2.
Substitute the simplified ratio into the formula: ΔS = R ln(2).
