The Correct Option is B

Approach Solution - 1

To find the entropy change associated with the process where ice at \(-5^\circ \text{C}\) is heated to become vapor at \(110^\circ \text{C}\), we need to consider different stages of heating and phase changes. Here, we will detail the steps involved in calculating the total entropy change:

  1. First, the ice is heated from \(-5^\circ \text{C}\) (268 K) to \(0^\circ \text{C}\) (273 K). The entropy change is given by:  
\[\Delta S_1 = \int_{268}^{273} \frac{C_{p,\text{ice}}}{T} \, dT\]
  1. Next, the ice melts into water at \(0^\circ \text{C}\). The entropy change for this phase change is: 
\[\Delta S_2 = \frac{\Delta H_{\text{fusion}}}{T_f}\]
  1.  where \(\Delta H_{\text{fusion}}\) is the enthalpy of fusion and \(T_f\) is the melting point of ice (273 K).
  2. The water is then heated from \(0^\circ \text{C}\) to \(100^\circ \text{C}\) (373 K). The entropy change here is: 
\[\Delta S_3 = \int_{273}^{373} \frac{C_{p,\text{water}}}{T} \, dT\]
  1. At \(100^\circ \text{C}\), the water vaporizes into steam. The entropy change for vaporization is: 
\[\Delta S_4 = \frac{\Delta H_{\text{vaporization}}}{T_b}\]
  1.  where \(\Delta H_{\text{vaporization}}\) is the enthalpy of vaporization and \(T_b\) is the boiling point of water (373 K).
  2. The steam is then heated from \(100^\circ \text{C}\) to \(110^\circ \text{C}\) (383 K). The entropy change is: 
\[\Delta S_5 = \int_{373}^{383} \frac{C_{p,\text{steam}}}{T} \, dT\]

The total entropy change is the sum of all these individual changes: 

\[\Delta S_{\text{total}} = \Delta S_1 + \Delta S_2 + \Delta S_3 + \Delta S_4 + \Delta S_5\]

Upon examining the options provided, the correct approach to calculate this total entropy change is given by the formula:

\[\int_{268 \, \text{K}}^{273 \, \text{K}} \frac{C_{p,m}}{T} \, dT + \frac{\Delta H_m \, \text{fusion}}{T_f} + \frac{\Delta H_m \, \text{vaporisation}}{T_b}\]

This accounts for the energy required to increase the temperature, melt the ice, heat the water, vaporize the water, and then heat the steam, covering all the necessary phase changes and temperature increases for the complete process from \(-5^\circ \text{C}\) to \(110^\circ \text{C}\).

Approach Solution -2

To determine the total entropy change for the process of ice at \( -5^\circ C \) heating to vapor at \( 110^\circ C \) under atmospheric pressure, we must consider the phase changes and temperature changes involved. Here's a step-by-step breakdown:

  1. Heating Ice from \( -5^\circ C \) to \( 0^\circ C \):
    The heat capacity (\(C_{p,m}\)) is used to calculate the entropy change during temperature changes.
    \(\Delta S_1 = \int_{268 \, \text{K}}^{273 \, \text{K}} \frac{C_{p,m}}{T} \, dT\)
  2. Melting of Ice at \( 0^\circ C \):
    The change of phase from solid to liquid involves latent heat of fusion (\(\Delta H_m \, \text{fusion}\)).
    \(\Delta S_2 = \frac{\Delta H_m \, \text{fusion}}{T_f}\) where \(T_f = 273 \, \text{K}\)
  3. Heating Water from \( 0^\circ C \) to \( 100^\circ C \):
    Entropy change for the water as it is heated to boiling point.
    \(\Delta S_3 = \int_{273 \, \text{K}}^{373 \, \text{K}} \frac{C_{p,m}}{T} \, dT\)
  4. Vaporization of Water at \( 100^\circ C \):
    Latent heat of vaporization (\(\Delta H_m \, \text{vaporisation}\)) is involved for liquid changing to gas.
    \(\Delta S_4 = \frac{\Delta H_m \, \text{vaporisation}}{T_b}\) where \(T_b = 373 \, \text{K}\)
  5. Heating Vapor from \( 100^\circ C \) to \( 110^\circ C \):
    Further heating after vaporization.
    \(\Delta S_5 = \int_{373 \, \text{K}}^{383 \, \text{K}} \frac{C_{p,m}}{T} \, dT\)

The total entropy change (\(\Delta S_{\text{total}}\)) for the entire process is the sum of all individual changes:
\(\Delta S_{\text{total}} = \Delta S_1 + \Delta S_2 + \Delta S_3 + \Delta S_4 + \Delta S_5\)

Among the given options, the correct formulation for entropy change, considering phase transitions at their respective temperatures, is:
\(\Delta S_{\text{process}} = \int_{268 \, \text{K}}^{273 \, \text{K}} \frac{C_{p,m}}{T} \, dT + \frac{\Delta H_m \, \text{fusion}}{T_f} + \frac{\Delta H_m \, \text{vaporisation}}{T_b}\)
