Match Column I (Change at 1 atm) with Column II (Signs)

Column I

Column II

P) Condensation of steam at 100°C

i) Δ G = 0, Δ S > 0

Q) Melting of ice at 0°C

ii) Δ G = 0, Δ S < 0

R) Vaporization of water at 110°C

iii) Δ G < 0, Δ S < 0

S) Freezing of water at −10°C

iv) Δ G < 0, Δ S > 0

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

At 100°C and 1 atm steam and water are in equilibrium, Δ G = 0, and gas → liquid loses entropy (P – ii). At 0°C ice and water are in equilibrium, Δ G = 0, and melting gains entropy (Q – i). At 110°C (above the normal boiling point) vaporization is spontaneous, Δ G < 0, with Δ S > 0 (R – iv). Supercooled water freezes spontaneously at −10°C, Δ G < 0, and freezing loses entropy (S – iii).
