Halliday, Resnick & Walker — Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics: Problem 11

In an experiment, 200 g of aluminum (with a specific heat of 900 J/kg·K) at 100°C is mixed with 50.0 g of water at 20.0°C, with the mixture thermally isolated. (a) What is the equilibrium temperature? What are the entropy changes of (b) the aluminum, (c) the water, and (d) the aluminum–water system?

📝 Solution Approach
