Question
A mixture of ice and water, initially at 0◦C, poured into 50.0 g aluminum cup, initially at 30.0 ◦C.
When the combined system reaches equilibrium at constant pressure, with no heat flow from the
surroundings, it is found that the final temperature is 0◦C. Find the total entropy change associated
with this process. [Note that while some ice will melt, the temperature of the water/ice mixture is
constant here.]
Expert Solution
Step 1
Given:
T1=0oC=0+273
T1=271K
T2=30oC=30+273
T2=303K
m=50.0g
Atomic mass of aluminium is 27 g/mol
So number of moles are
=1.85 mol
Molar heat capacity at constant pressure is
Cp=24.2 J/mol.K
