Graphs below show the entropy versus energy U of two systems 1 and 2 at constant volume. The initial energies of the systems are indicated by U1, i and U2, i , respectively. Graphs are drawn to the same scale. The systems are then brought into thermal contact with each other. Assume that, at all times the combined energy of the two systems remains constant. Choose the most appropriate option indicating the energies of the two systems and the total entropy after they achieve the equilibrium.

Combustion of sucrose is used by aerobic organisms for providing energy for the life sustaining processes. If all the capturing of energy form the reaction is done through electrical process (non P-V work) then calculate maximum available energy which can be captured by combustion of 34.2 gm of sucrose

Given : Δ H combustion sucrose = - 6000 kJ mol -1

Δ S combustion = 180 J/K-mol and body temperature is 300 K
