Q: In which of the following conditions does the entropy of a system increase? (2022)
Solution:
The entropy of a system increases when a solid melts into a liquid, as the disorder of the system increases.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
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.
