A sample of ice absorbs 15.6kJ of heat as it undergoes a reversible phase transition to form liquid water at 0∘C. What is the entropy change for this process in units of JK? Report your answer to three significant figures. Use −273.15∘C for absolute zero.

Answer:

Entropy change of ice changing to water at 0°C is equal to 57.1 J/K

Explanation:

When a substance undergoes a phase change, it occurs at constant temperature.

The entropy change Δs, is given by the formula below;

Δs = q/T

where q is the quantity of heat absorbed or evolved in Joules and T is temperature in Kelvin at which the phase change occur

From the given data, T = 0°C = 273.15 K, q = 15.6 KJ = 15600 J

Δs = 15600 J / 273.15 K

Δs = 57.111 J/K

Therefore, entropy change of ice changing to water at 0°C is equal to 57.1 J/K

The entropy change of ice changing to water will be "57.1 J/K".

Entropy change

The shift in what seems like a thermodynamic system's condition of confusion is caused by the transformation of heat as well as enthalpy towards activity. Entropy seems to be greater mostly in a network with a high quantity or measure of chaos.

According to the question,

Temperature, T = 0°C or,

                          = 273.15 K

Heat, q = 15.6 KJ or,

            = 15600 J

We know the formula,

Entropy change, Δs = [tex]\frac{q}{T}[/tex]

By substituting the values, we get

                                 = [tex]\frac{15600}{273.15}[/tex]

                                 = 57.11 J/K

Thus the above answer is correct.
