is desired to bring about a certain change in the state of a system by performing work on the system under adiabatic conditions ?

ItA. The amount of work needed is path dependent
B. Work alone cannot bring out such a change of state
C. The amount of work needed is independent of path
D. More information is needed to conclude anything about the path dependence or otherwise of
the work needed

A solid metallic block weighing 5 kg has an initial temperature of 500°C. 40 kg of water initially at 25°C is contained in a perfectly insulated tank. The metallic block is brought into contact with water. Both of them come to equilibrium. Specific heat of block material is 0.4 kJ.kg-1. K-1. Ignoring the effect of expansion and contraction and also the heat capacity to tank, the total entropy change in kJ.kg-1, K-1 is_________________?
