An ice cube is left sitting in an otherwise empty glass on the dining room table, where it melts. The ice cube has a mass of 50 g (Specific heat of water: 4.2 J/gK).
(1 point) The ice cube melts into liquid water at 0 °C. What is the change in its entropy?
Hint: 334 Joules of heat energy are required to melt 1 g of ice at 0 °C.
(1 point) What is the change in the entropy of the liquid water as its temperature rises from 0 °C to the room temperature of 22 °C?
(1 point) Calculate the change in entropy of the dining room as it loses heat energy to melt the ice and raise the temperature of the resultant liquid to 22 °C.
(1 point) What is the change in total entropy of the room/ice/liquid system? Provide a justification for it being positive, negative, or zero.
