(N/A) As the temperature increases,the kinetic energy of the molecules increases,leading to an increase in their translational,rotational,and vibrational motions. This results in greater disorder in the system,which corresponds to an increase in entropy.

Calculate the entropy change when $1 \, \text{mole}$ of ice is converted into water at $0 \, ^\circ\text{C}$. (The enthalpy change for the conversion of ice to liquid at $0 \, ^\circ\text{C}$ is $6.0 \, \text{kJ} \, \text{mol}^{-1}$).

Statement-$1$: For a process at equilibrium,the total entropy is maximum and the change in total entropy is zero.
Statement-$2$: For a reversible process,if the same amount of heat is supplied to a system at two different temperatures,then the entropy change is less at a lower temperature.
