Answer

$-1.22\times10^6J/K$

Work Step by Step

Heat leaves the water, so the change in entropy is negative. The heat transfer is the water’s mass multiplied by the heat of fusion. $$\Delta S=\frac{Q}{T}=-\frac{mL_{fusion}}{T}$$ $$=-\frac{(1.00\times10^3kg)(3.33\times10^5J/kg)}{ 273K}$$ $$=-1.22\times10^6J/K$$
