A 2.00kg block of ice at 0.0C melts. What is the change in entropy of the ice as a result of this process?

Thanks for any help =)

  1. Entropy Change = (Energy transferred) / (Temperature in kelvin)

    deltaS = Q / T

    Q = (mass)(latent heat of fusion)

    Q = m(hfusion)

    Q = (2,000g)(333J/g) = 666,000J

    T(K) = T(C) + 273.15 = 273.15K

    deltaS = 666,000J / 273.15K

    deltaS = 2,438.22 J/K
