Homework Statement
Each end of a metal wire is in thermal contact with a different heat reservoir.
Reservoir 1 is at a temperature of 752 K, and reservoir 2 is at a temperature of
345 K. Compute the total change in entropy that occurs from the conduction of
1096 J of heat through the wire.
Homework Equations
dS = dQ / T
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm really unsure how to solve this question. Would I do something like this:
-1096/752 + 1096/345 =
-1.457 + 3.177 = 1.72 J/K
Or am I totally off base on this one?
