Correct answer: D
- Entropy change for a multi-step heating process
For entropy, the general expression is
When a substance is heated at constant pressure within a single phase,
so
For a phase change occurring reversibly at constant temperature,
- Break the given process into steps
Ice at means initial temperature is
and final state is steam at , i.e.
At atmospheric pressure, the process occurs in these reversible steps:
-
Heat ice from to :
-
Melt ice at :
-
Heat liquid water from to :
-
Vaporize water at :
-
Heat steam from to :
Hence total entropy change is
- Check the options
Option A
It uses
instead of
So this is an expression for enthalpy-like heating contributions, not entropy. Incorrect.
Option B
Again uses
without dividing by . Incorrect.
Option C
This is too vague and also not the correct decomposition for the full process. Entropy requires
not simply . Incorrect.
Option D
This includes:
- heating contributions as
- fusion entropy as
- vaporization entropy as
This is exactly the correct thermodynamic expression. Correct.
- Final answer
The correct option is:
