Calculate the total entropy change for the transition at 368 K of 1 mol of sulphur from the monoclinic to the rhombic solid state and 
H = – 401.7 J mol –1 for the transition. Assume the surroundings to be an ice-water. Both at 0 0 C:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
S (system) = 
= – 1.09 JK –1
The ice-water both absorbs the 401.7 J mol –1 at temperature 273 K
S surrounding = 
= 1.47 JK –1
and 
S (universe) = – 1.09 + 1.47 = 0.38 JK –1
