A. solid ice has a more rigid structure; therefore, dS decreases.
B. O2 @ 800 K has more random ways to interact with each other; therefore, dS increases.
C. Your turn. In dS problems like this remember to look at the ransomness of the molecules.
Predict how the entropy of the substance is affected in each of the processes.
A. H2O(l,300K)⟶H2O(s,273K)
B. O2(g,300K)⟶O2(g,800K)
C. Ar(l)⟶Ar(g)

So for C, dS would increase since gas form is less structured than liquid?
