The heat of fusion for H2O at 273.15 K and 1 bar pressure is 6.008 kJ/mol; the heat of vaporization for H2O at 373.15 K and 1 bar pressure is 40.656 kJ/mol; and the molar heat capacity (Cp,m) of liquid water between 273 K and 373 K has a nearly constant value of 75.29 J/K-mol (under a pressure of 1 bar). Given these conditions, which of the following processes will result in the largest increase in entropy of a 1-mol sample of H2O?
