A hot piece of iron is thrown into the ocean and its temperature eventually stabilizes. Which of the following statements concerning this process is correct? (There may be more than one correct choice.)
A. The entropy gained by the iron is equal to the entropy lost by the ocean.
B. The ocean gains less entropy than the iron loses.
C. The change in the entropy of the iron-ocean system is zero.
D. The entropy lost by the iron is equal to the entropy gained by the ocean.
E. The ocean gains more entropy than the iron loses.

Respuesta :

Answer:

E. The ocean gains more entropy than the iron loses.

Explanation:

When there is a spontaneous process , entropy of the system increases . Here hot iron is losing entropy and ocean is gaining entropy . Net effect will be gain of entropy . That means entropy gained by ocean is more than entropy lost by iron .

Hence option E is correct .
