A 500-ml glass of chilled water at 10⁰C degree is removed from a refrigerator. It slowly equilibrates to the room temperature of 25⁰C degree. Calculate the entropy change of the water, the entropy change of the surroundings, and the entropy change of the universe, all in J/K . Can this process occur?
