Entropy Change in Thermal Equilibrium
Two systems with heat capacities C₁ = 500 J/K and C₂ = 1500 J/K are initially at 90°C and 30°C, respectively. They are placed in thermal contact and reach equilibrium. The resulting total entropy increase is what fraction of the maximum possible entropy increase for the quantity of heat exchanged?
