    In a container, 200 g of aluminum (specific heat 900 J/kg. K) at \[{{100}^{o}}C\] is mixed with 50 g of water at \[{{20}^{o}}C\], with the mixture thermally isolated. Find the entropy change of the aluminum-water system.

    A)  +2.8 J/K

    B)  -22.1 J/K

    C)  +24.9 J/K

    D)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Let the final temperature of the system be \[{{t}^{o}}C\]                 Heat lost = Heat gain \[\therefore \]  \[0.05\times 180+4.18\times {{10}^{3}}\times 0.05(t-20)\]                                 \[=0.2\times 900\,(100-t)\]                 \[209+180t=1800+4180-9\]                                 389 t =22171                 \[t={{56.99}^{o}}C\]                 \[t={{57}^{o}}C\]                 \[{{S}_{1}}=\frac{mQ}{T}+mc\log \left( \frac{{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}} \right)\] \[=\frac{0.05\times 180}{273}+0.05\times 4.18\times {{10}^{3}}\log \left( \frac{57+273}{20+273} \right)\] \[=\frac{9}{273}+209\log \frac{330}{293}\] \[=0.032+209\times 0.0596\] \[=0.032+12.4564\] = 12.4884                 \[{{S}_{2}}=mc\log \left( \frac{{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}} \right)\]                 \[=0.20\times 900\log \left( \frac{57+273}{100+273} \right)\]                 \[=180\log \frac{330}{373}\]                 \[=-180\times (0.0532)\]                 = - 9.576 So, change entropy \[={{S}_{1}}+{{S}_{2}}\] = 12.4884 - 9.576 = 2.91 J/K \[\cong \] + 2.8 J/K
