Answer:
410.196 J/[kg*°C].
Explanation:
1) the equation of the energy is: E=c*m*(t₂-t₁), where E - energy (523 J), c - unknown specific heat of copper, m - mass of this copper [kg], t₂ - the final temperature, t₁ - initial temerature;
2) the specific heat of copper is:
Answer:
a)
b) entropy of the sistem equal to a), entropy of the universe grater than a).
Explanation:
a) The change of entropy for a reversible process:
The energy balance:
If the process is isothermical the U doesn't change:
The work:
If it is an ideal gas:
Solving:
Replacing:
Given that it's a compression: V2<V1 and ln(V2/V1)<0. So:
b) The entropy change of the sistem will be equal to the calculated in a), but the change of entropy of the universe will be 0 in a) (reversible process) and in b) has to be positive given that it is an irreversible process.
