What is the change in total entropy delta

Reference no: EM13285811

An aluminum bar of mass 2.00kg at 300 C is thrown into a lake. The temperature of the water in the lake is 15.0 C; the specific heat capacity of aluminum is 900J/kg K. Since the aluminum bar is not an isolated system, the second law of thermodynamics cannot be applied to the bar alone. Rather, it should be applied to the bar in combination with its surroundings (the lake). Assume that the entropy change of the bar is -73.5J/K , what is the change in total entropy Delta S total?
