QUESTION:

An ice cube (mass 30 g) at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is left sitting on the kitchen table, where it gradually melts. The temperature in the kitchen is \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).

(a) Calculate the change in the entropy of the ice cube as it melts into water at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). (Don’t worry about the fact that the volume changes somewhat.)

(b) Calculate the change in the entropy of the water (from the melted ice) as its temperature rises from \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).

(c) Calculate the change in the entropy of the kitchen as it gives up heat to the melting ice/water.

(d) Calculate the net change in the entropy of the universe during this process. Is the net change positive, negative, or zero? Is this what you would expect?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

To calculate the change in the entropy of the ice cube \(\Delta S_{1}\) as it melts into water at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)

Mass of the ice cube m = 30 g or 0.03 kg

Temperature of ice cube \(\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{C}}=0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \text { or } 273 \mathrm{~K}\)

Temperature of the kitchen \(\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{H}}=25^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \text { or } 298 \mathrm{~K}\)

The entropy of the ice cube (constant temperature)

\(\Delta S_{1}=\frac{Q_{1}}{T_{C}}\)

Where Q is the energy needed to melt the ice

\(\mathrm{Q}_{1}=\mathrm{m} \times \mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{f}}\)

\(\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{f}}\) is the latent heat of fusion of ice

\(\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{f}}=334 \mathrm{KJ} / \mathrm{K}\)

\(\begin{array}{l}
\Delta S_{1}=\frac{m \cdot L f}{T_{C}} \\
\Delta S_{1}=\frac{0.03^{*} 334^{*} 10^{3}}{273} \\
\Delta S_{1}=36.7 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{K}
\end{array}\)

The change in the entropy of the ice cube is 36.7 J/K
