What is the entropy change in the environment when 5.0 MJ of energy is transferred thermally from a reservoir at 1000 K to one at 500 K

The entropy change in the environment is 3.62x10²⁶.

Explanation:

The entropy change can be calculated using the following equation:

Where:

Q: is the energy transferred = 5.0 MJ

: is the Boltzmann constant = 1.38x10⁻²³ J/K  

: is the initial temperature = 1000 K

: is the final temperature = 500 K

Hence, the entropy change is:

Therefore, the entropy change in the environment is 3.62x10²⁶.
