3. You make tea with 0.250 kg of 85.0 °C water and let it cool to room temperature (20°C) before drinking it. (a) Calculate the entropy change of the water while it cools. (b) The cooling process is essentially isothermal for the air in your kitchen. Calculate the change in entropy of the air while the tea cools, assuming that all the heat lost by the water goes into the air. (c) What is the total entropy change of the system tea + air?

A sealed container holding 0.500 kg of liquid nitrogen at its boiling point of 77.3 K is placed in a large room at 21.0C. Energy is transferred from the room to the nitrogen as the liquid nitrogen boils into a gas and then warms to the rooms temperature. (a) Assuming the rooms temperature remains essentially unchanged at 21.0C, calculate the energy transferred from the room to the nitrogen. (b) Estimate the change in entropy of the room. Liquid nitrogen has a latent heat of vaporization of 2.01 105 J/kg. The specific heat of N2 gas at constant pressure is CN2 = 1.04 103J/kg K.
An athlete whose mass is 70.0 kg drinks 16.0 ounces (454 g) of refrigerated water. The water is at a temperature of 35.0F. (a) Ignoring the temperature change of the body that results from the water intake (so that the body is regarded as a reservoir always at 98.6F), find the entropy increase of the entire system. (b) What If? Assume the entire body is cooled by the drink and the average specific heat of a person is equal to the specific heat of liquid water. Ignoring any other energy transfers by heat and any metabolic energy release, find the athletes temperature after she drinks the cold water given an initial body temperature of 98.6F. (c) Under these assumptions, what is the entropy increase of the entire system? (d) State how this result compares with the one you obtained in part (a).
Find the increase in entropy of 1.00 kg of liquid nitrogen that starts at its boiling temperature, boils, and warms to 20.0C at constant pressure.
