普通物理學(A)
- +404 J/K
- +202 J/K
- +101 J/K
- The entropy is unchanged
- -202 J/K
提示
Equal masses of water mix to a final temperature of 50 °C. The hot water's entropy falls while the cold water's rises; sum ΔS = mc·ln(T_f/T_hot) + mc·ln(T_f/T_cold) with absolute temperatures, and the net must be positive.
正確答案
正解:C
詳解
A. (A) +404 J/K — incorrect. About four times too large; likely from a factor or temperature-conversion error.
B. (B) +202 J/K — incorrect. About twice the correct value, a common error from double-counting or omitting one logarithm's sign.
C. (C) +101 J/K — correct. Final T = 50 °C = 323 K. ΔS = mc·ln(323/273) + mc·ln(323/373) = 4180·[ln(1.183) + ln(0.866)] = 4180·(0.1682 − 0.1439) ≈ +101 J/K. Net positive, as required for an irreversible mixing.
D. (D) The entropy is unchanged — incorrect. Mixing hot and cold water is irreversible, so total entropy must increase, not stay constant.
E. (E) -202 J/K — incorrect. A negative total entropy change would violate the second law for this spontaneous, irreversible process.
