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.
