Question

Identify the process you would predict to have an increase in entropy?

A. condensation of water
B. freezing water
C. melting ice
D. deposition of CO2 (changing from a gas to solid)

Answer 1

C. melting ice

Entropy is increases anytime it makes a bigger mess or creates disorderly. Entropy is decreases anytime it cleans up a mess. For example, condensing mist in the air into one droplet organizes the mess and that would be negative entropy. I hope this is making sense.

Answer 2

c. melting point is the process you would need
