Answer to Question #207924 in General Chemistry for Earl

Question

Determine if liquid water will spontaneously freeze at -10.00°C? It is spontaneously at +10.00°C? What can you say about the values of ∆Suniv?

Answer 1

$∆Suniv = ∆Ssys + ∆Ssurr$

∆Suniv=-10++10

= 0°C

the ice will freeze before -10°C
