Question

An 800-g block of ice at 0.00°C is resting in a large bath of water at 0.00°C insulated from the environment. After an entropy change of this system of 600 J/K, how much ice remains unmelted? The latent heat of fusion of water is 333 J/g.

Answer 1

Unmeltedd ice = 308.109 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Gibbs Free energy:

A systems Gibbs Free Energy is defined as the free energy of the product of the absolute temperature and the entropy change less than the enthalpy change.

Therefore, G = ΔH-TΔS

where G is Gibbs Free Energy

ΔH is enthalpy change

T is absolute temperature

ΔS is entropy change

Here since there is a phase change, therefore G will be 0.

∴ΔH = TΔS

Given: Temperature, T = 0°C = 273 K

Entropy change,ΔS = 600 J/K

Latent heat of fusion of water = 333 J/g

∴ΔH = TΔS

∴ΔH = 273 x 600

= 163800 J

So this is the amount of enthalpy that will be used into melting of ice.

∴ΔH = mass of ice melted x latent heat of fusion of water

Mass of ice melted = ΔH / latent heat of fusion of water

= 163800 / 333

= 491.891 g

This is the mass of ice melted.

And initial amount of ice is 800 g

Amount of ice left after melting = Initial amount of ice - amount of ice melted

= 800-491.891

= 308.109 g

Amount of ice remained after melting = 308.109 g
