Solution

The correct option is D T=1059k
The entropy change for the process is ΔS=28.8J/K
The enthalpy change for the process is ΔH=30.5kJ
The relationship between the enthalpy change and the entropy change is

ΔH=TΔS or T=ΔHΔS
Substitute values in the above expression.
T=30.5×10328.8=1059K
Hence, the melting point of NaCl is 1059 K.
