Chemistry Question on thermal properties of matter
What is the entropy change (in JK–1mol–1) when one mole of ice is converted into water at 0ºC?(The enthalpy change for the conversion of ice to liquid water is 6.0 KJ mol–1 at 0ºC)
A
20.13
B
2.013
C
2.198
D
21.98
Answer
21.98
Explanation
Solution
you can use the equation:
ΔS=TΔH
Given:
Enthalpy change (ΔH) = 6.0 kJ/mol = 6.0kJ/mol×1000J/kJ = 6000J/mol
Temperature (T) = 0°C = 273.15 K
Now, plug the values into the equation:
ΔS = 273.15K6000J/mol
ΔS ≈ 21.98 J/K/mol
So, the correct answer is (D): 21.98 J/K/mol
