Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following processes increases the entropy of the system? (2022)
  • Step 1: Understand what entropy means. Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness in a system.
  • Step 2: Identify the states of matter. Solids have a fixed structure (low entropy), while liquids have more freedom to move (higher entropy).
  • Step 3: Consider the process of melting ice. Ice is a solid with a structured arrangement of molecules.
  • Step 4: When ice melts, it turns into water, which is a liquid. This change allows the molecules to move more freely.
  • Step 5: Since the molecules in liquid water are more disordered than in solid ice, the entropy of the system increases.
