Answer:
SI system i think it is right
Answer:
ΔS total ≥ 0 (ΔS total = 0 if the process is carried out reversibly in the surroundings)
Explanation:
Assuming that the entropy change in the aluminium bar is due to heat exchange with the surroundings ( the lake) , then the entropy change of the aluminium bar is, according to the second law of thermodynamics, :
ΔS al ≥ ∫dQ/T
if the heat transfer is carried out reversibly
ΔS al =∫dQ/T
in the surroundings
ΔS surr ≥ -∫dQ/T = -ΔS al → ΔS surr ≥ -ΔS al = - (-1238 J/K) = 1238 J/K
the total entropy change will be
ΔS total = ΔS al + ΔS surr
ΔS total ≥ ΔS al + (-ΔS al) =
ΔS total ≥ 0
the total entropy change will be ΔS total = 0 if the process is carried out reversibly in the surroundings
