While walking along the beach, a person sees a dented aluminum can whose mass is 100 grams. The can has been in the sun all day and is at a temperature of 80 °C. The person takes the hot aluminum can and throws it into the sea, which is at a temperature of 20 °C. The can transfers energy to the ocean, in the form of heat, until both reach thermal equilibrium. In addition to polluting the environment, how much did this person increase the entropy of the universe? Data: C(aluminium) =900 J/Kg*K and Tk=273+Tc
