Entropy: Heat addition to surrounding.

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the entropy change of the surroundings when 12007 kJ of heat is lost during a cooling process at an ambient temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. The formula used is Δs=ΔQ/T, where ΔQ is the heat lost and T is the absolute temperature in Kelvin. The calculation yields an entropy change of approximately 40.272 kJ/K. The reasoning and calculation presented are confirmed to be correct. This highlights the relationship between heat loss and entropy change in thermodynamic processes.

If 12007 kJ of heat is lost to the surroundings with an ambient temperature of 25 degrees centigrade during a cooling process, and the ambient temperature of the surroundings is unaffected by the heat addition, what is the entropy change of the surroundings?

If Δs=∫δQ/T, then Δs=ΔQ/T=12007 kJ/(25+273.15)K= 40.272 kJ/K.

Is my thinking process here correct?

Thanks!
