Connecting the statistical and macroscopic approaches to irreversible processes

Estimate the total change in entropy of two containers of water. One container holds 0.1 kg of water at 70 °C and is warmed to 90 °C by heating from contact with the other container. The other container, also holding 0.1 kg of water, cools from 30 °C to 10 °C. Is this energy transfer process allowed by the first law of thermodynamics? By the second?
