What is the entropy change for the drop


Energy can be removed from water as heat at and even below the normal freezing point (0.00 ?C at atmospheric pressure) without causing the water to freeze; the water is then said to be supercooled. Suppose a 1.70 g water drop is supercooled until its temperature is that of the surrounding air, which is at -7.93 ?C. The drop then suddenly and irreversibly freezes, transferring energy to the air as heat. What is the entropy change for the drop? The specific heat of ice is 2220 J/kg•K; the specific heat of liquid water is 4190 J/kg•K; and the heat of fusion of water is 333 kJ/kg.
