(II) (a) Suppose you have four coins, all with tails up. You now rearrange them so two heads and two tails are up. What was the change in entropy of the coins? (b) Suppose your system is the 100 coins of Table 20–1; what is the change in entropy of the coins if they are mixed randomly initially, 50 heads and 50 tails, and you arrange them so all 100 are heads? (c) Compare these entropy changes to ordinary

- Does the entropy increase for a Carnot engine for each cycle?arrow_forwardWhat can be said about the total entropy of the universe? Why is it true?arrow_forwardIn an isochoric process, heat is added to 10 mol of monoatomic ideal gas whose temperature increases from 273 to 373 K. What is the entropy change of the gas?arrow_forward
- A copper rod of cross-sectional area 5.0 cm2 and length 5.0 m conducts heat from a heat reservoir at 373 K to one at 273 K. What is the time rate of change of the universe's entropy for this process?arrow_forwardTwo hundred joules of heat are removed from a heat at a temperature of 200 K. What is the entropy change of the reservoir?arrow_forwardCheck Your Understanding In Example 4.7, the spontaneous flow of heat from a hot object to a cold object results in a net increase in entropy of the universe. Discuss how this result can be related to an increase in disorder of the system.arrow_forward
- Which of the following is true for the entropy change of a system that undergoes a reversible, adiabatic process? (a) S 0 (b) S = 0 (c) S 0arrow_forward(a) A 5.0-kg rock at a temperature of 20 is dropped into a shallow lake also at 20 from a height of 1.0103 m. What is the resulting change in entropy of the universe? (b) If the temperature of the lock is 100 when it is dropped, what is the change of entropy of the universe? Assume that air friction is negligible (not a good assumption) and that c=860 J/kg K is the specific heat of the rock.arrow_forward(a) infinitesimal amount of heat is added reversibly to a system. By combining the first and second laws, show that dU=TdSdW. (b) When heat is added to an ideal gas, its temperature and volume change from T1 and V1 to T2 and V2 . Show that the entropy change of n moles of the gas is given by S=CnvlnT2T1nRlnV2V1 .arrow_forward
- An ice tray contains 500 g of liquid water at 0C. Calculate the change in entropy of the water as it freezes slowly and completely at 0C.arrow_forwardA 0.50-kg piece of aluminum at 250 is dropped into 1.0 kg of water at 20 . After equilibrium is reached, what is the net entropy change of the system?arrow_forwardCheck Your Understanding A 50-g copper piece at a temperature of 20 is placed into a large insulated vat of water in 100 . (a) What is the entropy change of the copper piece when it reaches thermal equilibrium with the water? (b) What is the entropy change of the water? (c) What is the entropy change of the universe?arrow_forward
