When $1 text{ kg}$ of ice at $0^circ text{C}$ melts to water at $0^circ text{C}$, the resulting change in its entropy, taking latent heat of ice to be $80 text{ Cal}/^circ text{C}$, is: (2011 Pre)
$273 text{ cal/K}$
$8 times 10^4 text{ cal/K}$
$80 text{ cal/K}$
$293 text{ cal/K}$

Solution:

Entropy change $Delta S = frac{Delta Q}{T} = frac{m cdot L}{T} = frac{1000 cdot 80}{273} = 293 text{ cal/K}$
