  1. A 1500 W electrical heater is used to heat 20 kg of water (cp = 4186 J/kgK) in an insulated bucket, from a temperature of 30°C to 80°C. If the heater temperature is only infinitesimally larger than the water temperature during the process, the change in entropy for the heater is _________ J/K and for water J/K.
    1. 12786.99 J/kg
    2. 22786.99 J/kg
    3. 1200.99 J/kg
    4. – 12786.99 J/kg
