Which of the following show an increase in entropy?
I. Boiling of water
II. Melting of ice
III. Freezing of water
IV. Formation of hydrogen gas from water
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
Entropy is the measure of disorderliness. It means as disorderliness increases entropy increases.
Melting of ice leads to the formation of liquid water where the particles are in random motion which leads to an increase in entropy.
Option (c) is the correct option as in and the state changes towards more random state, thus entropy increases.
