Chapter 11, Problem 11.101CP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The entropy of fusion should be determined for TiCl₄.

Concept introduction:

An evaluation of the increased randomness which goes with the conversion from solid to liquid or else liquid to gas; equivalent to the latent heat divided by the absolute temperature is recognized as entropy of fusion.

This entropy of fusion approximately at all times positive exception is only helium because the degree of disorder increments in the conversion from an organized crystal-like solid to the structure of a liquid which is disorganized. It is signified as ${\text{ΔS}}_{\text{fus}}$ and usually articulated in ${\text{J mol}}^{\text{-1}}{\text{ K}}^{\text{-1}}$

The formula to compute the entropy of fusion is represented as the division of the heat of fusion by the temperature equal to melting point.

${\text{ΔS}}_{\text{fus}}\text{=}\frac{{\text{ΔH}}_{\text{fus}}}{{\text{T}}_{\text{f}}}$
