The change in entropy (ΔS) when ice melts can be calculated using the formula ΔS = Q/T, where Q is the heat absorbed and T is the temperature in Kelvin. The heat absorbed (Q) when 50 g of ice melts is 4000 cal (since the latent heat of fusion of ice is 80 cal/g). The temperature is 273 K (0°C). Thus, ΔS = 4000 cal / 273 K ≈ 14.7 cal/K.
