Answer:

(a)

The given value of the enthalpy change when 1 mol of ice melts at 273 K is, H  6008 J .

Standard enthalpy of fusion for ice is defined as the amount of heat required for 1 mol of ice to
0 C  273 K 
change its state from solid to liquid at and constant pressure. Thus,

H
m H  
n
n  1 mol
6008 J
m H    6008 J/mol
1 mol

(b)

C  75.44 J  mol  K 
The specific heat for liquid water is taken as pl .
C  38.00 J  mol  K 
The specific heat for solid water is taken as ps .

Amount of supercooled water that solidifies is 100 g. Molecular weight of water is 18 g/mol.
Convert this mass of water into moles of water as:

100 g
n  5.56 mol
18 g/mol

The heat released when 5.56 mol of supercooled water is solidified is calculated as:

Q  H1  H 2  H 3

Here,

H1 is the heat required to raise the temperature of water from 250 K to 273 K.
H 2 is the heat required to solidify liquid water to solid at 273 K which is negative of the heat
of fusion at 273 K. Use this value from part (a).
H 3 is the heat released when temperature of ice is lowered from 273 K to 250 K.

Thus,

 
Q  nC pl  T273  T250   n  m H   nC ps  T250  T273 
   5.56   75.44   273  250      5.56   6008      5.56   38   250  273 
 28616.65 J

Negative sign represents that the heat is released.

(c)

The given value of the enthalpy change when 1 mol of ice melts at 273 K is, H  6008 J .

Entropy change at 273 K is calculated as:

(d)

The given value of the enthalpy change when 1 mol of ice melts at 273 K is, H  6008 J .
C  38.00 J  mol  K 
The specific heat for solid water is taken as ps .

At 250 K, entropy change for the fusion of ice is calculated as:

 T  H
 m S  nC ps ln  250  
 T273  T
 250 K  6008 J
  1 mol   38 J  mol  K   ln  
 273 K  273 K
 18.663 J/K
