Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following has the highest entropy at 25°C?
Correct Answer: Steam
  • 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. Solids are ordered, liquids are less ordered, and gases are the most disordered.
  • Step 3: Compare the states of water at 25°C: ice (solid), water (liquid), and steam (gas).
  • Step 4: Recognize that steam (gas) has the highest disorder compared to ice (solid) and water (liquid).
  • Step 5: Conclude that since steam is in the gaseous state, it has the highest entropy at 25°C.
