So in part A you found the standard entropy for the reaction.   In part 
B you are going to need to find the change in the entropy at the higher 
temperature - assuming that the heat capacities don't change.   So 
compute the change in the heat capacity for the reaction just like you 
would compute the change in a state function (products minus reactants, 
weighted by their stoichiometric coefficients).  Call

that quantity Cp,rC_{p,RXN}


Now, using the equation 3.12 and the heat capacity from part A,


ΔSr=ΔSr∘+∫T1T2Cp,rTdT\Delta S_r = \Delta 
S_r^{\circ}+\int_{T_1}^{T_2}\frac{C_{p,r}}{T}dT where T1T_1 is 298 K and 
T2T_2 is the temperature for where you want to compute the entropy change.
