Chapter 8, Problem 8.108SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

$\Delta S_{fusion}$ for ethyl alcohol has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

• Free energy change, $\Delta G,$ is represented as,

$\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S$

       Where,

$\begin{array}{l}\Delta H=\text{ enthalpy change}\\ \Delta \text{S}\text{= entropy change}\end{array}$

• Entropy of fusion is represented as $\Delta S_{fusion}$ and it refers to entropy change associated with melting of a solid substance to liquid.
