(a) (165, 0); 1 [12] Look for these points: to change phase, the separation of the molecules must increase; Some recognition that the ice is changing phase is needed. so all the energy input goes to increasing the PE of the molecules; Accept something like breaking the molecular bonds. KE of the molecules remains constant, hence temperature remains constant; 3 If KE mentioned but not temperature then assume they know that temperature is a measure of KE. (i) time for water to go from 0 to 15 C = 30 s; energy required = ms = = J; power = energy = 525 W 530 W; 3 time ice takes 15 s to go from 15 C to 0; energy supplied = J; sp ht = (530 15) ( ) = 2100 J kg 1 K 1 ; 3 (iii) time to melt ice =150 s; L = ( ) 0.25 = 320 kj kg 1 ; 2 (d) the degree of disorder / order (of the molecules of the ice); 1 (e) in any process, (reaction, event etc) the overall entropy of the universe / a closed system increases ; 1 14

15 2. (Cont d) (f) entropy decreases; Award [1] each for any of these main points, up to [3 max]. when water freezes it gives out energy (heat); therefore speed (KE) of surrounding air molecules increases; the air surrounding the ice is therefore in a more disordered state; therefore disorder (entropy) of the universe increases; 4 max [18] 3.
