Gibb's Helmholtz equation
Question

One mole of ice is converted in to water at 273K. The entropies of H2O(s) and H2O(l) are 38.20 and 60.01 J mole-1K-1 respectively. The enthalpy change for this conversion is

Moderate
Solution

\begin{array}{l} {H_2}{O_{(s)}} \to {H_2}{O_{(l)}}\\\\ \Delta {S_r} = \sum {S_{products}} - \sum {S_{reac\tan ts}}\\ \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {S_{{H_2}{O_{(l)}}}} - {S_{{H_2}{O_{(s)}}}}\\ \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \,60.01 - 38.20 = 21.81J/mole/K \end{array}

   \Delta H=T\Delta S = 273 X 21.81 = 5954J
