Answer:
Δ S = -50 J
Explanation:
given,
Temperature, T = 500 K
Heat dissipates, Q = 25.0 kJ
Q = 25000 J
change in entropy, ΔS = ?
using equation of entropy
[tex]\Delta S = \dfrac{\Delta Q}{T}[/tex]
[tex]\Delta S = -\dfrac{25000}{500}[/tex]
Δ S = -50 J
negative sign is used because heat is lost in the surrounding.
Hence, Change in entropy is equal to -50 J
