Answer:
0.00011 JK.
The process does NOT violate the second law of thermodynamics
Explanation:
The following parameters are given which are going to help in solving for the change in entropy of the system. The term "entropy'' simply means the degree of disorderliness of a system.
=> The temperature of container A = 305 K, the temperature of container B = 295 K and the amount of heat generated when the containers are placed in contact with each other = 1. 1 J.
The change in entropy of the hot container = -(1/305) = - 0.00328 J/K.
The change in entropy of the cold container = 1/295 = 0.00339 J/K.
Therefore, the change in the entropy of the system = - 0.00328 J/K + 0.00339 J/K = 0.00011 JK.
Note that the change in entropy of the system gives a positive value. Hence, this process does not violate the second law of thermodynamics.
The process does NOT violate the second law of thermodynamics.
