5. Latent heat, dS for phase transformations
10 kg of water at 200C is converted to ice at - 100C by being put in contact with a reservoir at - 100C. This process takes place at constant pressure and the heat capacities at constant pressure of water and ice are 4180 and 2090 J/kg·K respectively. The heat of fusion of ice is 3.34·105 J/kg.
