AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the change in entropy of raspberry jelly during heating. The mixture consists of 952 g of raspberry juice and 930 g of sugar, heated from 23.0°C to 220°F. The energy absorbed by the mixture has been calculated as 4.19 x 10^5 J. The challenge lies in determining the correct method to calculate the change in entropy, with suggestions including using the formula m*c*ln(Tf/Ti) for both components. The conversation highlights confusion over the application of this formula and seeks clarification on the correct approach.

Homework Statement


In making raspberry jelly, 952 g of raspberry juice is combined with 930 g of sugar. The mixture starts at room temperature, 23.0°C, and is slowly heated on a stove until it reaches 220°F. It is then poured into heated jars and allowed to cool. Assume that the juice has the same specific heat as water. The specific heat of sucrose is 0.299 cal/g·°C. Consider the heating process.

(b) How much energy does the mixture absorb?
(c) What is the minimum change in entropy of the jelly while it is heated?

The Attempt at a Solution



I have calculated part b, but I can't figure out how to do part c. For part b I got an answer of 4.19 x 10^5 J.

I just can't figure out what to do for part C. Since it absorbs 4.19 x 10^5 J I did Q/T, but that is wrong. Any help would be nice, thanks.

Would I find the entropy by using m*c*ln(Tf/Ti) for both of the materials and then adding that together?
 
Anyone?
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
