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)

3 answers

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