- Liquid water (higher entropy than ice). Reason: the liquid has more molecular disorder and many more accessible microstates than the ordered solid; melting increases entropy (ΔSfus > 0).
- Liquid water at 90°C (higher entropy than at 10°C). Reason: for the same phase and amount, entropy rises with temperature (ΔS = ∫Cp/T dT > 0), so the hotter liquid has greater entropy.
- Liquid water at 90°C (higher entropy than at 10°C). Reason: for the same phase and amount, entropy rises with temperature (ΔS = ∫Cp/T dT > 0), so the hotter liquid has greater entropy.
