Consider two perfectly insulated vessels. Vessel 1 initially contains an ice
cube at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and water at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) . Vessel 2
initially contains an ice cube at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and a saltwater
solution at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) . Consider the process $\mathrm{H}_{2}
\mathrm{O}(s) \rightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)$
a. Determine the sign of \(\Delta S, \Delta S_{\text { sum }}\) and $\Delta
S_{\text { univ }}$ for the process in vessel 1 .
b. Determine the sign of \(\Delta S, \Delta S_{\text { sum }},\) and $\Delta
S_{\text { univ }}\( for the process in vessel \)2 .$
(Hint: Think about the effect that a salt has on the freezing point of a
solvent.)
