What Temperature Will Water Freeze Using This Equation?
Will water freeze at 5 degrees Celsius? Will it freeze at -5 degrees Celsius? Delta S for the freezing of
water is -22.1 J/K and the surroundings must absorb 6000J of heat for water to freeze.
I know the equation we use to solve for both temperatures is deltaS(univ)=deltaS(sys) + q(surr)/T.
I'm not sure what the universal delta S would be. Would the delta S for the system be the -22.1 J/K or will I
have to convert? Also, is the q(surroundings) the 6000J or something else?
