Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In which of the following conditions does the entropy of a system increase? (2022)
  • Step 1: Understand what entropy means. Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness in a system.
  • Step 2: Recognize that solids have a more ordered structure compared to liquids.
  • Step 3: When a solid melts, it changes from a structured form to a more disordered form (liquid).
  • Step 4: Realize that this change from solid to liquid increases the disorder of the system.
  • Step 5: Conclude that when a solid melts into a liquid, the entropy of the system increases.
