Question

(2) [
Describe briefly why the following statements are wrong.
(i) "Hot cup of coffee becoming cold spontaneously is an entropy-decreasing process. So the
law of entropy increase is violated in this situation."
(ii) "Air conditioners require bulky external unit, exhausting heat to outside. With the
technology constantly advancing, external unit will be eliminated in the future."

A liter of air, initially at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, is heated at constant pressure until it doubles in volume. Calculate the increase in its entropy during this process.
(a) Calculate the change in entropy when a 0.125-kg chunk of ice melts at 0 °C. Assume the melting occurs reversibly.
(i)One kg of water at 273 K is brought into contact with a heat reservoir at 373 K. When the water has reached 373 K, find the entropy change of the water of the heat reservoir and of the universe. (ii) If water is heated from 273 K to 373 K by first bringing it in contact with a reservoir at 323 K and then with a reservoir at 373 K, what will the entropy change of the universe be ?
One of the statements of the second law is that “heat cannot flow from a colder body to awarmer one without external aid”. Assume two systems, 1 and 2, at T1 and T2 (whereT2 > T1 ). Show that if a quantity of heat q did flow spontaneously from 1 to 2, the processwould result in a decrease in the entropy of the universe. [You may assume that the heat flowsso slowly that the process can be regarded as reversible. Assume also that the loss of heat bythe system 1 and the gain of heat by 2 do not affect T1 and T2 .]
