Solution

The change in entropy (ΔS) of the surroundings (surr) can be calculated using the formula:

ΔSsurr = -qsys/T

where:

  • qsys is the heat absorbed or released by the system (in J), and
  • T is the temperature (in K).

In this case, 40 kJ of heat is removed from the system, so qsys = -40,000 J (since 1 kJ = 1,000 J). The temperature is 200 K.

Substituting these values into the formula gives:

ΔSsurr = -(-40,000 J) / 200 K = 200 J/K

So, the change in entropy of the surroundings when 40 kJ of heat is removed from the system at 200 K is 200 J/K.
