A chunk of ice with a mass of 1.2 kg melts and absorbs 3.33 x 10³J of energy. Which best describes what has happened in this system?

- Its entropy increases.

Explanation:

Entropy is defined as a 'measure of the amount of energy in a physical system that cannot be used to do work.' It is also employed to denote randomness, disorder, or uncertainty of the arrangement/system. In the given system, the melting of ice denotes the 'increase in entropy' as the amount of energy unavailable to do work increases('absorbs 3.33 x 10³J of energy'). Thus, this signifies that the entropy increases with a rise in temperature as it allows the substance to have greater kinetic energy.

b) returns freshwater to the earth.

c) returns freshwater to the earth.c) occurs after condensation.

d) returns freshwater to the earth.c) occurs after condensation.d) roughly equal to the amount of evaporation.

happy to

pls mark as brainliest.

it is very well related to a lot of things but with my limited knowledge i can confidently say that the answer is space.
