89 Questions for Chapter 20: Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics

  1. A 364 gblock is put in contact with a thermal reservoir. The block is initially at a lower temperature than the reservoir. Assume that the consequent transfer of energy as heat from the reservoir to the block is reversible. Figure gives the change in entropy ∆S of the block until thermal equilibrium is reached. The scale of the horizontal axis is set byTa=280KandTb=380K. What is the specific heat of the block?

  7. A mixture of1773g of water and 227gof ice is in an initial equilibrium state at 0.000°C. The mixture is then, in a reversible process, brought to a second equilibrium state where the water – ice ratio, by mass, is 1.00 : 1.00at0.000°C. (a)Calculate the entropy change of the system during this process. (The heat of fusion for water is 333 kJ/kg.)(b) The system is then returned to the initial equilibrium state in an irreversible process (say, by using a Bunsen burner). Calculate the entropy change of the system during this process. (c)Are your answers consistent with the second law of thermodynamics?
