Water of mass gram is slowly heated to increase the temperature from to . The change in entropy of the water, given specific heat of water is , is :
- A
- Bzero
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
- Entropy change for slow heating
For a substance heated reversibly from temperature to , the entropy change is
Since the specific heat is constant,
So,
Integrating from to ,
- Given specific heat
The question gives specific heat of water as (though units appear misprinted; effectively take ).
Hence,
- Check options
- A: — this is not entropy.
- B: zero — incorrect, entropy increases on heating.
- C: — wrong sign.
- D: — correct.
Therefore, the correct option is D.
