A block of ice at a constant melting temperature of \(273\text{ K}\) absorbs a quantity of heat \(Q\) from a large surrounding room maintained at a constant temperature of \(293\text{ K}\) until the ice completely melts. Which of the following correctly compares the magnitude of the entropy change of the ice, \(|\Delta S_{\text{ice}}|\), to the magnitude of the entropy change of the room, \(|\Delta S_{\text{room}}|\), and provides a correct explanation?
