question 46

Short Answer

What is the change in entropy of the lead when $2.0 \mathrm {~kg}$ of molten lead at its melting point temperature solidifies? For lead: $L _ { V } = 207 \mathrm { kcal } / \mathrm { kg }$ at $1744 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C } , L F = 5.9 \mathrm { kcal } / \mathrm { kg }$ at $328 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C }$ .
