Explain the flask is removed from the ice-water

Reference no: EM13653596

A flask containing several moles of liquid benzene at its freezing temperature (5.5 degrees C) is placed in thermal contact with an ice-water bath. When the flask is removed from the ice-water bath, it is found that 1 mole of benzene has frozen. Given: ΔfusH(C6H6) = 9.87 kJ/mol and ΔfusH(H2O) = 5.98 kJ/mol.

a) What is the change in entropy of benzene?

b) What is the change in entropy of the water bath?

c) Considering the flask of benzene and the water bath as an isolated system, what is the change in entropy of the isolated system? Is the process reversible or irreversible?
