Problem

A 300 g300\,\text{g} block of aluminum at 80∘C80^{\circ}\text{C} is placed in thermal contact with a 300 g300\,\text{g} block of aluminum at 20∘C20^{\circ}\text{C} inside a perfectly insulated container. Predict the direction of heat flow and describe qualitatively how the total entropy of the two-block system changes as it approaches equilibrium.
