Question 7 on Quiz 1 in the course reader (pg 114)
It is asking which of the processes leads to an increase in entropy.
I get the reason why 2 and 3 processes lead to an increase in entropy, but I don't get why 5 doesn't lead to an increase in entropy?
5) A glass of water loses 100 J of energy reversibly at 30 °C.
Can someone explain? thank you.

Re: Quiz 1 Question 7 (increase in entropy)
Because the glass of water is loosing 100J of energy and the change in S = Qrev/T, if Q decreases, then so does S because they're proportional.
