Problem- You probably know that when two objects at different temperatures are brought into contact, heat always travels from the hotter object to the colder object; never the reverse.
Imagine that you have two aluminum blocks, one with a mass 264 g at a temperature of 28.6 oC, and another with a mass 346 g at a temperature of 127 oC. The two blocks are brought into contact with each other in an insulated container.
Specific heat of aluminum = 0.900 JK-1g-1
What is the sign of the entropy change for the heat transfer (enter positive or negative) that takes place?
Sign of entropy change =_________
What is the final temperature of the two aluminum blocks?
Final temperature =___________ oC
What is the entropy change for the heat transfer described in this question?
Entropy change =________JK-1
