Problem

One mole of ice at 0∘C0^\circ\text{C} melts reversibly at atmospheric pressure while in thermal contact with a reservoir also at 0∘C0^\circ\text{C}. Indicate the sign of the entropy change for (a) the water that was initially ice and (b) the reservoir. Explain your reasoning in one or two sentences.
