This document contains a physics problem set asking about the entropy changes of water and heat reservoirs as 1 kg of water is heated from 0°C to 100°C in different scenarios. Part a asks about directly heating the water from 0°C to 100°C in contact with a 100°C reservoir. Part b asks about heating the water in two steps from 0°C to 50°C and then to 100°C using two different reservoirs. Part c asks how the water could be heated from 0°C to 100°C so that the total entropy change is zero.

(a) Initially at 0C, it is heated to 100C by contact with a heat reservoir at 100C. What is the entropy change of the water? Of the heat reservoir? What is Stotal? (b) Initially at 0C, it is first heated to 50C by contact with a heat reservoir at 50C and then to 100C by contact with a reservoir at 100C. What is Stotal? (c) Explain how the water might be heated from 0C to 100C so that Stotal = 0.
