A block made of iron with a mass of 0.80 kg is heated to 800∘C, then dropped into 5.00 kg of water at 10∘C. What is the total change in entropy (in J/K ) of the block-water system, assuming no energy is lost by heat from this system to the surroundings? The specific heat of iron is 448 J/(kg⋅K), and the specific heat of water is 4,186 J/(kg⋅K). (Hint: note that dQ = mcdT.) J/K

A block made of iron with a mass of 0.80 k g is heated to 800 C , then dropped into 5.00 k g of water at 10 C . What is the total change in entropy (in J / K ) of the block-water system, assuming no energy is lost by heat from this system to the surroundings? The specific heat of iron is 448 J / ( k g K ) , and the specific heat of water is 4 , 186 J / ( k g K ) . (Hint: note that d Q = m c d T .) J / K
