Standard entropy of liquid lead at 500C?

In summary: Entropy is not conserved; it can change with temperature.In summary, the standard entropy of liquid lead at 500C can be calculated using the equation ΔS(500) = S(298) + ∫(Cp(s)/T)dT + ΔHfus/T + ∫(Cp(l)/T)dT, which takes into account the initial entropy at 25C. This is because entropy is a state function and the standard entropy is the change in entropy from the state of pure elements at 25C. The entropy can change with temperature, so the ∫(Cp(s)/T)dT term should be included in the calculation.

Homework Statement


The standard entropy of lead at 25C is S(298)=64.80 J/Kmol.
The heat capacity of solid lead is Cp(s) = 22.13 + .01172T + 0.96x105T-2.
The heat capacity of liquid lead is Cp(l) = 32.51 - 0.00301T
Melting point is 327.4C
Heat of fusion is 4770J/mol.
Calculate the standard entropy of liquid lead at 500C.

Homework Equations


ΔS(500) = S(298) + ∫(Cp(s)/T)dT + ΔHfus/T + ∫(Cp(l)/T)dT
ΔS(500) = ∫(Cp(s)/T)dT + ΔHfus/T + ∫(Cp(l)/T)dT

The Attempt at a Solution


I'm just wondering which equation to use?
At first I thought the equation was just ΔS(500) = ∫(Cp(s)/T)dT + ΔHfus/T + ∫(Cp(l)/T)dT but the question includes the standard entropy at 25C, so do I have to account for that too by using ΔS(500) = S(298) + ∫(Cp(s)/T)dT + ΔHfus/T + ∫(Cp(l)/T)dT? But shouldn't the initial entropy not matter since entropy is a state function?
And if I do have to account for entropy at 25C, does that entropy stay the same up to the melting point so I wouldn't need to account for the ∫(Cp(s)/T)dT

Yes.

When you are talking about the "standard entropy," you are talking about the change in entropy from the state of pure elements comprising the compound at 25 C.
And if I do have to account for entropy at 25C, does that entropy stay the same up to the melting point so I wouldn't need to account for the ∫(Cp(s)/T)dT
What would make you think this?
