Question #177545
Find the difference in entropy between one gram of ice 0°C and one gram of steam at 100°C. Latent heat of fission of ice is at 80 calories specific heat of water is 1 and latent heat of steam at 100°C with 540 calories

Let the final temperature of the mixture will become T.

Q1=1×540+1×1×(100T)Q_1=1\times 540+1\times 1\times(100-T)

now energy required to convert ice to water

Q2=80+TQ_2=80+T

Total energy always be conserve,

So,

540+100T=80+T540+100-T=80+T

2T=560\Rightarrow 2T = 560

T=280C\Rightarrow T = 280^\circ C

ΔS1=540273\Delta S_1 = \frac{540}{273}

ΔS2=180273\Delta S_2 =-\frac{180}{273}

ΔS3=360273\Delta S_3=\frac{360}{273}

ΔS=0\Delta S=0

Hence total change in entropy =0
