Hi, 

Help with i-k part.

 

The process of melting solid ice to produce water has the following thermodynamic values:  Δ H = + 1.44 k c a l / m o l a n d Δ S = + 5.26 c a l / m o l ⋅ K. 
a) What is the value for Δ G at 263K in cal/mol?
b) Is melting ice spontaneous at 263K?
c) What about the reverse reaction? Would liquid water spontaneously freeze at 263K?
d) Convert 263K to ∘ C. Would you expect ice to melt at this temperature?
e) What is the value for Δ G at 283K in cal/mol?
f) Is melting ice spontaneous at 283K?
g) What about the reverse reaction? Would liquid water spontaneously freeze at 283K?
h) Convert 283K to ∘ C. Would you expect ice to melt at this temperature?
