Question: Which of the following has the highest entropy?

Options:

  1. Ice at 0 °C
  2. Water at 0 °C
  3. Water vapor at 100 °C
  4. Water at 100 °C

Correct Answer: Water vapor at 100 °C

Solution:

Water vapor at 100 °C has the highest entropy due to its gaseous state, which has more disorder compared to the liquid and solid states.

Which of the following has the highest entropy?
  1. Ice at 0 °C
  2. Water at 0 °C
  3. Water vapor at 100 °C
  4. Water at 100 °C

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following has the highest entropy?
  • Step 1: Understand what entropy means. Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness in a system.
  • Step 2: Identify the states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Gases have more disorder than liquids, and liquids have more disorder than solids.
  • Step 3: Compare the states of water: solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (water vapor).
  • Step 4: Recognize that at 100 °C, water is in the gaseous state (water vapor).
  • Step 5: Conclude that water vapor has the highest entropy because gases have the most disorder compared to liquids and solids.
