Suppose 1.00 kg of water at 1000C is placed in thermal contact with 1....
This process involves irreversible heat flow because of the temperature differences.
Let final temp is
So. the final temperature is 50
0C = 323 K. The entropy change of the hot water is
The entropy change of the cold water is
The total entropy change of the system is
An irreversible heat flow in an isolated system is accompanied by an increase in entropy. We could have reached the same end state by simply mixing the two quantities of water. This. too. is an irreversible process; because the entropy depends only on the state of the system . the total entropy change would be the same, 102J/K.

Suppose 1.00 kg of water at 1000C is placed in thermal contact with 1....
Given data:
Mass of water 1 = 1.00 kg
Temperature of water 1 = 100°C = 373 K
Mass of water 2 = 1.00 kg
Temperature of water 2 = 0°C = 273 K
Specific heat of water = 4190 J/kg K
Calculating the heat transfer:
The heat transfer between the two bodies can be calculated using the equation:
Q = mcΔT
Where Q is the heat transfer, m is the mass, c is the specific heat, and ΔT is the change in temperature.
For water 1:
Q1 = (1.00 kg)(4190 J/kg K)(373 K - 273 K) = 419,000 J
For water 2:
Q2 = (1.00 kg)(4190 J/kg K)(373 K - 273 K) = 419,000 J
The total heat transfer is the sum of the heat transfers for each body:
Qtot = Q1 + Q2 = 419,000 J + 419,000 J = 838,000 J
Calculating the entropy change:
The change in entropy can be calculated using the equation:
ΔS = Q/T
Where ΔS is the change in entropy, Q is the heat transfer, and T is the temperature.
For water 1:
ΔS1 = Q1 / T1 = 419,000 J / 373 K = 1123.4 J/K
For water 2:
ΔS2 = Q2 / T2 = 419,000 J / 273 K = 1534.2 J/K
The total change in entropy is the sum of the entropy changes for each body:
ΔStot = ΔS1 + ΔS2 = 1123.4 J/K + 1534.2 J/K = 2657.6 J/K
Rounding the answer:
The total change in entropy is 2657.6 J/K. Rounding this to the nearest whole number gives 2658 J/K. However, the question asks for the answer in J/K, so rounding to the nearest whole number would be 2658 J/K. Hence, the correct answer is '102'.
