Solution

The correct option is D 21.98
The heat of fusion for water at 0oC is approximately 334 joules (79.7 calories) per gram.
So for 1 mole of Water enthalpy of fusion =334×186000Jmol1

ΔS=qrevT=6000273=21.978JK1mol1

So the entropy change is 21.98
Ice is converted into the water so entropy change will always be positive.
Option D is the correct answer.
