Question

Suppose 2.00 kg of water at 50C spontaneously
changes temperature, so that half of the water cools to 0C while the other half spontaneously
warms to 100C. (All of the water remains liquid, so it doesn’t freeze or boil.) What would be
the entropy change of the water? Is this process possible?

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.

A Styrofoam cup holding 118 g of hot water at 1.00 x 10-°C cools to room temperature, 21.0°C. What is the change in entropy of the room? (Neglect the specific heat of the cup and any change in temperature of the room. The specific heat of water is 4,186 J/(kg · °C).) J/K
A block made of cobalt with a mass of 0.80 kg is heated to 850°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 cobalt is 420 J/(kg · K), and the specific heat of water is 4,186 J/(kg · K). (Hint: note that dQ = mcdT.)
