Answer

$4.86\times10^{-2}\frac{J/K}{s}$.

Work Step by Step

$$\Delta S=\frac{Q}{T}$$ $$\Delta S=\Delta S_H+\Delta S_L=-\frac{Q}{T_H}+\frac{Q}{T_L}$$ All the heat that leaves the high-temperature heat source will be dumped into the low-temperature body of water. $$ \Delta S =Q(\frac{1}{T_L}-\frac{1}{T_H})$$ Find the rate at which entropy increases. $$ \frac{\Delta S}{t} =\frac{Q}{t}(\frac{1}{T_L}-\frac{1}{T_H})$$ $$ =(8.40\;cal/s)(\frac{4.186J}{cal})(\frac{1}{(22+273)K}-\frac{1}{(225+273)K })$$ $$=4.86\times10^{-2}\frac{J/K}{s}$$
