please explain reasoning or assumptions for the answer

A hot piece of iron is thrown into the ocean and its temperature eventually stabilizes. Which of the following concerning this process is correct? (There may be more than one correct choice.) A. The entropy lost by the iron is equal to the entropy gained by the ocearn. B. The entropy gained by the iron is equal to the entropy lost by the ocean. C. The change in the entropy of the iron-ocean system is zero. D. The ocean gains more entropy than the iron loses. E. The ocean gains less entropy than the iron loses. daualoned will on each cycle, take 100J of

Explanation / Answer

Ans D)

The object which looses heat also looses entropy and vice versa. So according to question iron looses entropy and ocean gains.

Also this is a real world situation where every process is irreversible hence entropy of the system must be positive. So gain by ocean is greater than loss by iron.
