Two copper blocks of heat capacities C and 2C are at temperatures T₁ and T₂ respectively. They are brought into contact and allowed to attain thermal equilibrium in an insulated enclosure. The entropy change of the system is

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Final temperature Tf = (C·T₁ + 2C·T₂)/(3C) = (T₁ + 2T₂)/3. ΔS = C ln(Tf/T₁) + 2C ln(Tf/T₂) = C ln[Tf³/(T₁T₂²)] = C ln[(T₁+2T₂)³/(27T₁T₂²)]. Matches (b).
