Ice of mass 14.0 kg at 0.00° C is placed in an ice chest. The ice chest has 3.50 cm thick walls of thermal conductivity 1.00 10-5 kcal/s · m · C° and a surface area of 1.25 m2.

(a) How much heat must be absorbed by the ice before it melts?

(b) If the outer surface of the ice chest is at 28.0° C, how long will it take for the ice to melt?

A 4.50-kg block of ice at 0.00∘C falls into the ocean and melts. The average temperature of the ocean is 3.50∘C, including all the deep water. By how much does the change of this ice to water at 3.50∘C alter the entropy of the world? (Hint: Do you think that the ocean temperature will change appreciably as the ice melts?) Does the entropy increase or decrease?
