Question: Problem 2 ( 2 0 points ) . 0 . 5 0 kg of water at 1 0 0 C is heated in a big

Problem 2(20 points).0.50 kg of water at 100C is heated in a big frying pan until it is all turned
into steam.
a)(7 points) Calculate the change in entropy of the water. The latent heat of vaporization is
L v =2 x 106 J/kg.
b)(7 points) During this process the frying pans temperature is assumed to remain constant
(because it is so massive) at 180C. Calculate the change in entropy of the frying pan.
c)(6 points) What is the total change in entropy of the water/frying pan system? Based on this
result, is this process reversible or irreversible? Why?
