A 20-kg block of ?20ºC ice is submerged in a lake with water at 10ºC. After a long time, the entropy change of the universe is nearest:

A) 4 kJ/K
B) 3 kJ/K
C) 2 kJ/K
D) 1 kJ/K


D) 1 kJ/K

The heat needed to heat the ice (heating a solid), melt the ice (heat of fusion: 320 kJ/kg), and heat the melted water (heating a liquid) up to the lake temperature is



The entropy increase of the ice up to 0ºC (heating a solid), plus that due to the melting of the ice (a constant-temperature entropy change), plus that of the heating of the melted water (heating a liquid), plus the entropy change of the lake (a reservoir that lost heat) results in
