Consider one gm of ice at a temperature T_1\text{ K}. Show that when this ice changes into steam at a temperature T_2\text{ K}, the total gain in entropy is \Delta S = \frac{L_i}{T_1} + C \log_e \left( \frac{T_2}{T_1} \right) + \frac{L_s}{T_2} where L_i is latent heat of ice, C is specific heat of water, L_s is latent heat of steam. T_1 = 273\text{ K}.
