  • A
    $\Delta S_{\text{system}} - \Delta S_{\text{surroundings}} > 0$
  • B
    $\Delta S_{\text{system}} > 0$
  • C
    $\Delta S_{\text{surroundings}} > 0$
  • D
    $\Delta S_{\text{system}} + \Delta S_{\text{surroundings}} > 0$

One mole of $NaCl$ $(s)$ on melting absorbed $30.5 \ kJ$ of heat and its entropy increased by $28.8 \ J \ K^{-1}$. The melting point of $NaCl$ is ............. $K$.

When the same quantity of heat is absorbed by a system at two different temperatures $T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$,such that $T_{1} > T_{2}$,the changes in entropy are $\Delta S_{1}$ and $\Delta S_{2}$ respectively. Then:
