To describe whether energy will ever spontaneously transfer from a cold pot of water to a hot stove.
Answer to Problem 19R
The energy can transfer from a cold pot of water to hot stove but only in a spontaneously system.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
In a spontaneous system, the energy flows from higher energy level to a low energy level.
The energy can flow from a cold pot of water to a hot stove only when the cold pot of water contains high energy level than the hot stove. This kind of energy transfer is called spontaneously. It is similar as the flow of water from high potential level to a low potential level.
Conclusion:
Hence, the energy can flow from cold area to hot only when the system is in spontaneous state.
