Problem 1 (II) (a) An ice cube of mass m at 0°C is placed in a large 20°C room. Heat flows (from the room to the ice cube) such that the ice cube melts and the liquid water warms to 20°C. The room is so large that its temperature remains nearly 20°C at all times. Calculate the change in entropy for the (water + room) system due to this process. Will this process occur naturally? (b) A mass m of liquid water at 20°C is placed in a large 20°C room. Heat flows (from the water to the room) such that the liquid water cools to 0°C and then freezes into a 0°C ice cube. The room is so large that its temperature remains 20°C at all times. Calculate the change in entropy for the (water + room) system due to this process. Will this process occur naturally?

### Problem 1

#### (II) (a) 
An ice cube of mass \( m \) at 0°C is placed in a large 20°C room. Heat flows (from the room to the ice cube) such that the ice cube melts and the liquid water warms to 20°C. The room is so large that its temperature remains nearly 20°C at all times. Calculate the change in entropy for the (water + room) system due to this process. Will this process occur naturally?

#### (b)
A mass \( m \) of liquid water at 20°C is placed in a large 20°C room. Heat flows (from the water to the room) such that the liquid water cools to 0°C and then freezes into a 0°C ice cube. The room is so large that its temperature remains 20°C at all times. Calculate the change in entropy for the (water + room) system due to this process. Will this process occur naturally?
