Which change causes the greatest increase in entropy?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Ice melting to liquid water
- Step 1: Entropy rises when particles become freer and more disordered. Step 2. Melting turns a rigid solid into a liquid, an increase. Answer: Ice melting to liquid water. Why not the others: Condensation, freezing and the loss of gas moles all reduce disorder.
