An 5.0 g ice cube at -24.0?C is put into a Thermos flask containing 125 cm3 of water at 20.0?C. By how much has the entropy of the cube-water system changed when a final equilibrium state is reached? The specific heat of ice is 2200 J/kg K and that of liquid water is 4187 J/kg K. The heat of fusion of water is 333
initially the ice warms from -24 oC to 0 oC
The change in entropy in this case is
?S1 = integral ( dQ /T)
=
m Cice ln (Tf / Ti)
=
(5 x 10-3) (2200) ln (273 / 259)
=
0.579 J/ K
Now the ice melts at 0oC , Then
?S2 = Q / T = mL
/T = 5 * 333 / 273 = 6.09J /K
Now the water warms to lake temperature
?S3 = m Cw ln(Tf /
Ti)
=
(5 / 1000) (4187) ln (293 / 273)
=
1.48 J /K
Therefore total change in entropy
?S = 0.579 +6.09 +
1.48= 8.149 J /K
