Answer

$\Delta S=3.8\times10^4\frac{J}{K}$

Work Step by Step

1. Loss of thermal energy as water freezes. $\Delta S=\frac{Q}{T}=\frac{mL_w}{T}=\frac{(1000kg)(333\times10^3\frac{J}{K})}{273K}$ $=-1.22\times10^6\frac{J}{K}$ 2. Loss of enthropy from ice as it cools from $0^oC$ to $-8^oC$ $T=\frac{(0-8^oC)}{2}=-4+273K=269K$ $\Delta S=\frac{Q}{T}=\frac{mc\Delta T}{T}=\frac{(1000kg)(2100)(0-8^oC)}{269K}$ $=-6.25\times10^4\frac{J}{K}$ 3. Heat gain of the large mass of ice $T=-8^oC=265K$ $\Delta S=\frac{Q}{T}=\frac{(1000kg)(333\times10^3\frac{J}{K})+(1000kg)(2100)(0-8^oC)}{265K}=1.32\times10^6\frac{J}{K}$ $\Delta S_t=-1.22\times10^6\frac{J}{K}-6.25\times10^4\frac{J}{K}+1.32\times10^6\frac{J}{K}=3.8\times10^4\frac{J}{K}$
