A) ΔH is small, so melting still obeys the second law of thermodynamics. B) The Gibbs free-energy relationship does not apply to phase changes such as melting. C) Water has a very high specific heat. D) There is a large increase in entropy. Title: Re: Ice melts spontaneously at room temperature, even though the process is endothermic. How is this ...
