given the compound A5B7, which melts at 1000 K, calculate delta S fusion. consider the arrangement of atoms in the liquid solution to be completely random.
is the increase in entropy when a substance melts and is given as
= Hfusion/ Tf where Hfusion is the heat of fusion and Tf is the temperature at which melting occurs.
Thus Sfusion= Hfusion/1000
i cannot arrive at the final answer, since you have not provided the value for delta H. You can just substitute H and get your answer. Answer will be positive since entropy (degree of randomness) increases as a substance changes from solid to liquid state (melting)
