Consider a 50.0 g ice cube placed in a container containing 200 g of water. The water is initially at 25.0*C and the ice cube comes directly from a freezer at -15.0*C. Assume no heat is lost to the surroundings and negligible heat loss from the container. Determine the total change in entropy as a result of the mixing process.
Some gas was compressed isothermally. This process was accompanied by a decrease in entropy (S=10 JK-1). Calculated the volume of the gas if it initially occupied the volume of 15.0 dm3 at 1.00 atm and 250 K. Does this violate the 2nd law of the thermodynamics stating that “the entropy of the isolated system can not decrease” ? Explain why.
