One kilogram of water at 100 0C is cooled reversibly to 15 0C. Compute the change in entropy. Specific heat of water is 4190 J/K
mina [271]

Answer:

The change in entropy is -1083.112 joules per kilogram-Kelvin.

Explanation:

If the water is cooled reversibly with no phase changes, then there is no entropy generation during the entire process. By the Second Law of Thermodynamics, we represent the change of entropy (s_{2} - s_{1}), in joules per gram-Kelvin, by the following model:

s_{2} - s_{1} = \int\limits^{T_{2}}_{T_{1}} {\frac{dQ}{T} }

s_{2} - s_{1} = m\cdot c_{w} \cdot \int\limits^{T_{2}}_{T_{1}} {\frac{dT}{T} }

s_{2} - s_{1} = m\cdot c_{w} \cdot \ln \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} (1)

Where:

m - Mass, in kilograms.

c_{w} - Specific heat of water, in joules per kilogram-Kelvin.

T_{1}, T_{2} - Initial and final temperatures of water, in Kelvin.

If we know that m = 1\,kg, c_{w} = 4190\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot K}, T_{1} = 373.15\,K and T_{2} = 288.15\,K, then the change in entropy for the entire process is:

s_{2} - s_{1} = (1\,kg) \cdot \left(4190\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot K} \right)\cdot \ln \frac{288.15\,K}{373.15\,K}

s_{2} - s_{1} = -1083.112\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot K}

The change in entropy is -1083.112 joules per kilogram-Kelvin.

Wet snow is best for snow man building<br>​
fredd [130]

Answer:

<h2>Hope my answer helps</h2>

Explanation:

<h2>Moist to wet snow is the ideal moisture content needed to build the best snowman. If the snow is too dry, it is comparable to loose powder and in turn, the snow won't stick together. On the other hand, if the snow has too much moisture and is slushy, it can't form into a solid.</h2>
