A block made of nickel with a mass of 0.80 kg is heated to 800°C, then dropped into 5.00 kg of water at 10°C. What is the total change in entropy (in J/K) of the block-water system, assuming no energy is lost by heat from this system to the surroundings? The specific heat of nickel is 440 J/(kg · K), and the specific heat of water is 4,186 J/(kg · K)

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.
