Correct answer: D

  1. Entropy change for a multi-step heating process

For entropy, the general expression is

ΔS=∫δqrevT\Delta S = \int \frac{\delta q_{\text{rev}}}{T}ΔS=∫Tδqrev​​

When a substance is heated at constant pressure within a single phase,

δqrev=Cp,m dT\delta q_{\text{rev}} = C_{p,m}\, dTδqrev​=Cp,m​dT

so

ΔS=∫Cp,mT dT\Delta S = \int \frac{C_{p,m}}{T}\, dTΔS=∫TCp,m​​dT

For a phase change occurring reversibly at constant temperature,

ΔS=ΔHphase changeTtransition\Delta S = \frac{\Delta H_{\text{phase change}}}{T_{\text{transition}}}ΔS=Ttransition​ΔHphase change​​
  1. Break the given process into steps

Ice at −5∘C-5^\circ\text{C}−5∘C means initial temperature is

268 K268\,\text{K}268K

and final state is steam at 110∘C110^\circ\text{C}110∘C, i.e.

383 K383\,\text{K}383K

At atmospheric pressure, the process occurs in these reversible steps:

  1. Heat ice from 268 K268\,\text{K}268K to 273 K273\,\text{K}273K:

    ΔS1=∫268273Cp,m(ice)T dT\Delta S_1 = \int_{268}^{273} \frac{C_{p,m}(\text{ice})}{T}\, dTΔS1​=∫268273​TCp,m​(ice)​dT
  2. Melt ice at 273 K273\,\text{K}273K:

    ΔS2=ΔHm,fusionTf\Delta S_2 = \frac{\Delta H_{m,\text{fusion}}}{T_f}ΔS2​=Tf​ΔHm,fusion​​
  3. Heat liquid water from 273 K273\,\text{K}273K to 373 K373\,\text{K}373K:

    ΔS3=∫273373Cp,m(liquid)T dT\Delta S_3 = \int_{273}^{373} \frac{C_{p,m}(\text{liquid})}{T}\, dTΔS3​=∫273373​TCp,m​(liquid)​dT
  4. Vaporize water at 373 K373\,\text{K}373K:

    ΔS4=ΔHm,vaporisationTb\Delta S_4 = \frac{\Delta H_{m,\text{vaporisation}}}{T_b}ΔS4​=Tb​ΔHm,vaporisation​​
  5. Heat steam from 373 K373\,\text{K}373K to 383 K383\,\text{K}383K:

    ΔS5=∫373383Cp,m(vapour)T dT\Delta S_5 = \int_{373}^{383} \frac{C_{p,m}(\text{vapour})}{T}\, dTΔS5​=∫373383​TCp,m​(vapour)​dT

Hence total entropy change is

ΔS=∫268273Cp,mT dT+ΔHm,fusionTf+∫273373Cp,mT dT+ΔHm,vaporisationTb+∫373383Cp,mT dT\Delta S = \int_{268}^{273} \frac{C_{p,m}}{T}\, dT + \frac{\Delta H_{m,\text{fusion}}}{T_f} + \int_{273}^{373} \frac{C_{p,m}}{T}\, dT + \frac{\Delta H_{m,\text{vaporisation}}}{T_b} + \int_{373}^{383} \frac{C_{p,m}}{T}\, dTΔS=∫268273​TCp,m​​dT+Tf​ΔHm,fusion​​+∫273373​TCp,m​​dT+Tb​ΔHm,vaporisation​​+∫373383​TCp,m​​dT
  1. Check the options

Option A

It uses

∫Cp,m dT\int C_{p,m}\, dT∫Cp,m​dT

instead of

∫Cp,mT dT\int \frac{C_{p,m}}{T}\, dT∫TCp,m​​dT

So this is an expression for enthalpy-like heating contributions, not entropy. Incorrect.

Option B

Again uses

∫Cp dT\int C_p\, dT∫Cp​dT

without dividing by TTT. Incorrect.

Option C

This is too vague and also not the correct decomposition for the full process. Entropy requires

∫δqrevT\int \frac{\delta q_{\text{rev}}}{T}∫Tδqrev​​

not simply ∫CpdT+qrev/T\int C_p dT + q_{\text{rev}}/T∫Cp​dT+qrev​/T. Incorrect.

Option D

This includes:

  • heating contributions as ∫Cp,mTdT\int \frac{C_{p,m}}{T} dT∫TCp,m​​dT
  • fusion entropy as ΔHm,fusionTf\frac{\Delta H_{m,\text{fusion}}}{T_f}Tf​ΔHm,fusion​​
  • vaporization entropy as ΔHm,vaporisationTb\frac{\Delta H_{m,\text{vaporisation}}}{T_b}Tb​ΔHm,vaporisation​​

This is exactly the correct thermodynamic expression. Correct.


  1. Final answer

The correct option is:
