A 0.20 kg0.20\,\text{kg} copper block (c=0.39 kJ kg−1 K−1c = 0.39\,\text{kJ kg}^{-1}\,\text{K}^{-1}) is cooled from 150 ∘C150\,^{\circ}\text{C} to 25 ∘C25\,^{\circ}\text{C} by placing it in a large water bath that stays at 25 ∘C25\,^{\circ}\text{C}. Calculate the approximate change in entropy of the universe. a) −5.3 J K−1-5.3\,\text{J K}^{-1} b) +9.6 J K−1+9.6\,\text{J K}^{-1} c) +5.3 J K−1+5.3\,\text{J K}^{-1} d) +32.7 J K−1+32.7\,\text{J K}^{-1}
