The correct answer is

The entropy change associated with the conversion of $1 \ kg$ of ice at $273 \ K$ to water vapours at $383 \ K$ is: (Specific heat of water liquid and water vapours are $4.2 \ kJ \ K^{-1} \ kg^{-1}$ and $2.0 \ kJ \ K^{-1} \ kg^{-1},$ heat of fusion and vaporisation of water are $334 \ kJ \ kg^{-1}$ and $2491 \ kJ \ kg^{-1},$ respectively) $(\ln \ 273 = 5.61, \ln \ 373 = 5.92, \ln \ 383 = 5.95)$

The ratio of heats liberated at $298 \ K$ from the combustion of one $kg$ of coke and by burning water gas obtained from $1 \ kg$ of coke is. (Assume coke to be $100 \%$ carbon.) (Given enthalpies of combustion of $CO_{2}, CO$ and $H_{2}$ as $393.5 \ kJ/mol, 283.5 \ kJ/mol, 285.5 \ kJ/mol$ respectively all at $298 \ K$.) (in $: 1$)
