Physics

A piece of equipment functions such that a hot reservoir at 605K transfers 1150 J of heat irreversibly to a cold reservoir at atemperature of 296 K.

1)

What is the change in entropy of the hot reservoir?

ΔSH = J/K

2)

What is the change in entropy of the cold reservoir?

ΔSc = J/K

3)

What is the change in entropy of the whole universe due to thisprocess?

ΔS = J/K
