### Thermodynamics Problem: Heat Transfer and Entropy Change

#### Problem Statement
**(a)** In reaching equilibrium, how much heat transfer occurs from 1.2 kg of water at 40°C when it is placed in contact with 1.2 kg of 20°C water? The specific heat of water is given as \(c = 4186 \, \text{J/(kg°C)}\).

*Hint*: If the masses of water are equal, what is the equilibrium temperature of the water mixture?

\[ Q = \boxed{50232 \, \text{J}} \]

**(b)** What is the change in entropy due to this heat transfer?

\[ \Delta S_{\text{total}} = \boxed{} \, \text{J/K} \]

**(c)** How much work is made unavailable, taking the lowest temperature to be 20°C?

\[ W_{\text{unavailable}} = \boxed{} \, \text{J} \]

#### Steps to Solve:

**(a) Calculation of Heat Transfer:**

To find the heat transfer \(Q\), we use the equation:
\[ Q = m \cdot c \cdot \Delta T \]
where:
- \(m\) is the mass of water,
- \(c\) is the specific heat of water, and
- \(\Delta T\) is the change in temperature.

Since both masses are equal and the system reaches thermal equilibrium, the equilibrium temperature \(T_{\text{eq}}\) would simply be the average of the initial temperatures:
\[ T_{\text{eq}} = \frac{40^\circ\text{C} + 20^\circ \text{C}}{2} = 30^\circ \text{C} \]

Thus, the change in temperature for each mass is:
\[\Delta T = |T_{\text{initial}} - T_{\text{eq}}| = |40^\circ\text{C} - 30^\circ \text{C}| = 10^\circ \text{C}\]

Given specific values:
\[m = 1.2 \, \text{kg}, \quad c = 4186 \, \text{J/(kg°C)}\]

So:
\[ Q = 1.2 \, \text{kg} \times 4186 \, \text{J/(kg°C)} \times 10
