Interpretation:
The process that occurs inside the calorimeter in terms of the zeroth and first laws of thermodynamics is to be described.
Concept introduction:
The zeroth law of thermodynamics states that if system A is in thermal equilibrium with system B and system B is in thermal equilibrium with system C, then system A and system C are also in thermal equilibrium with each other. The first law of thermodynamics states that the total energy of an isolated system remains unchanged.
Answer to Problem 3.34E
In terms of the zeroth law of thermodynamics, all the systems that are in contact with each other are in equilibrium. The systems present in the calorimeter are water, copper, and walls of the calorimeter. This complete system is in thermal equilibrium.
In terms of the first of law of thermodynamics, the energy released by copper at
Explanation of Solution
The whole system of calorimeter can be divided into three systems that are water, copper metal, and the walls of the calorimeter. All these systems are in contact with each other. According to the zeroth law of thermodynamics, these systems must be in thermal equilibrium with each other.
The temperature of the water is
The temperature of copper metal is
The temperature of copper metal is higher than that of water. Therefore, to attain a thermal equilibrium, some amount of energy is lost by the copper metal and some amount of energy is gained by the water. According to the first law of thermodynamics, the energy released by copper is equal to the heat accepted by water.

Answer to Problem 3.34E
The process is spontaneous because the entropy change of the system is positive. According to the second law of thermodynamics, the entropy change of system must be positive for a spontaneous process.
Explanation of Solution
The total entropy change in the calorimeter system is
This value implies that the randomness in the system is increasing with time. The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of the system either increases or remains the same. The entropy change is positive that means the entropy of the system is increasing. Therefore, the process is spontaneous.
The process is spontaneous because the entropy change of the system is positive. According to the second law of thermodynamics, the entropy change of system must be positive for a spontaneous process.
