Answer

Please see the work below.

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $m_1c_{copper}(T_1-T_c)=m_2c_{water}(T_c-T_2)$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $0.5\times 386\times (80-T_c)=1\times 4184\times (T_c-10)$ $Tc=13.1C^{\circ}$ (b) As $\Delta S_{copper}=0.5\times 386\times \ln(\frac{13.1+273}{80+273})=-40.5\frac{J}{K}$ $\Delta S_{water}=1\times 4184\times \ln(\frac{13.1+273}{10+273})=44.1\frac{J}{K}$ Now $\Delta S_{system}=\Delta S_{copper}+\Delta S_{water}=-40.5+44.1=3.7\frac{J}{K}$
