    Find the change in the entropy in the following process 100 gm of ice at \[0{}^\circ C\] melts when dropped in a bucket of water at \[50{}^\circ C\]. (Assume temperature of water does not change)

    A)  - 4.5 cal/K                          

    B)  + 4.5 cal/K

    C)  + 5.4 cal/K         

    D)         - 5.4 cal /K

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Gain of entropy of ice                 \[{{S}_{1}}=\frac{\Delta Q}{T}=\frac{mL}{T}=\frac{80\times 100}{(0+273)}\]                     \[=\frac{8\times {{10}^{3}}}{273}cal/K\] Loss of entropy of water                 \[{{S}_{2}}=\frac{\Delta Q}{T}=-\frac{mL}{T}\]                      \[=-\frac{80\times 100}{(273+50)}=-\frac{8\times {{10}^{3}}}{323}cal/K\] Total change of entropy \[{{S}_{1}}+{{S}_{2}}=\frac{8\times {{10}^{3}}}{273}-\frac{8\times {{10}^{3}}}{323}=+4.5\,\,cal/K\]
