Question

g Identify the process in which the entropy increases. Group of answer choices a decrease in the number of moles of a gas during a chemical reaction the phase transition from a gas to a liquid the phase transition from a solid to a gas freezing water

Answer 1

phase transition from a solid to a gas

Step-by-step explanation:

Entropy refers to the degree of disorderliness in a system. The more disorderly a system is, the greater the entropy of the system.

Decrease in the number of moles of a gas decreases the entropy of the system. Similarly, the entropy of solids is less than that of liquids. The entropy of liquids is less than that of gases.

Therefore, a change of phase from solid to gas represents an increase in entropy of the system.
