A hot penny is dropped into cold water inside a polystyrene foam cup. Assuming negligible heat loss to the atmosphere and the cup,
A) the decrease in entropy of the penny is equal to the increase in entropy of the water.
∣ ΔSpenny ∣ = ∣ ΔSwater ∣
B) the decrease in entropy of the penny is less than the increase in entropy of the water.
∣ ΔSpenny ∣ < ∣ ΔSwater ∣
C) the decrease in entropy of the penny is more than the increase in entropy of the water.
∣ ΔSpenny ∣ > ∣ ΔSwater ∣
D) the entropy of both the penny and the water increases.
