When a solid is converted into liquid,entropy

In which of the following processes does entropy increase?

Explain entropy and spontaneity of reactions.

$30.4 \, kJ$ of heat is required to melt one mole of sodium chloride and the entropy change at the melting point is $28.4 \, J \, K^{-1} \, mol^{-1}$ at $1 \, atm$. The melting point of sodium chloride is $........... \, K$ (Nearest Integer).

The entropy change,in the conversion of one mole of liquid water at $373 \, K$ to vapour at the same temperature is (Latent heat of vaporization of water,$\Delta H_{vap} = 2.257 \, kJ/g$) ........ $J \, K^{-1}$ (in $.9$)

Identify the correct statement regarding a spontaneous process:
