On a cold winter day, Pelle spills out 1.0 dl of water with a temperature of 20 Celsius. Two minutes later, all the water has frozen. The temperature of the ground, which cooled the water at the time was -20 Celcius and after a while, the ice reached this temperature as well.   Determine the entropy increase of the soil and the total entropy change during the freezing and cooling down process.
