**Entropy Change During Melting of Ice**

**Question 44:** What is the change in entropy of the ice when a 0.050-kg ice cube at 0°C melts? The latent heat of fusion for water is 80 cal/g.

---

**Explanation:**

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the change in entropy (ΔS) of the ice as it melts.

**Given:**
- Mass of ice (m) = 0.050 kg
- Latent heat of fusion for water (L) = 80 cal/g

First, convert the mass of ice from kilograms to grams:
\[ 0.050 \text{ kg} = 50 \text{ g} \]

Next, calculate the total amount of heat (Q) absorbed during melting:
\[ Q = m \times L \]
\[ Q = 50 \text{ g} \times 80 \text{ cal/g} \]
\[ Q = 4000 \text{ cal} \]

The change in entropy (ΔS) is given by the formula:
\[ \Delta S = \frac{Q}{T} \]

Where:
- \( Q \) is the heat absorbed 
- \( T \) is the absolute temperature in Kelvin (K)

The melting point of ice is 0°C, which is 273.15 K.

Now, calculate ΔS:
\[ \Delta S = \frac{4000 \text{ cal}}{273.15 \text{ K}} \]
\[ \Delta S \approx 14.64 \text{ cal/K} \]

Thus, the change in entropy of the ice when it melts is approximately **14.64 cal/K**.
