100g of water at 353K is mixed with 200g of water at 293K in an insulated container. Take cP=4.18Jg−1K−1 (constant) and ignore the container. The total entropy change of the system in JK−1 (two decimals) is
Numerical answer type, answer in J/K, tolerance 0.02.
Answer: 4.93 J/K
Final temperature: Tf=(100×353+200×293)/300=313.0K. ΔS=418ln(Tf/353)+836ln(Tf/293)=−50.271+55.202=4.931JK−1. The positive value reflects irreversible heat flow.
