1. A 40kg steel casting (CP=0.5kJ/kg-K) at a temperature of 450˚C is quenched


in 150kg of oil (CP=2.5kJ/kg-K) at 25˚C. If there are no heat losses,
a. What is the entropy change of the casting?
b. What is the change in entropy of the oil?
c. What is the entropy change of both considered together?

2. Consider A (l, 75˚C) → A (g, 155˚C) which is carried out at constant


pressure. The total ΔS for this process was found to be 75J/mol-K. For A (l)
and A (g), the CP are 75J/mol-K and 29J/mol-K, respectively, and are
independent of temperature. Calculate ΔHVAP for A (l) at 125˚C (boiling
point).

3. What is the entropy change involved in transforming 1 g of ice at 0 oC and 1


atm pressure into vapor at 150oC and 0.1 atm? Assume that the specific heats
of liquid and water vapor are 1.0 and 0.45 cal/g-Co, respectively.

experienced by 3mol of the gas on being heated from 300 to 600K at
a. constant pressure and
b. constant volume

a hot environment to a pressure of 75.3psig. The details of the process are
