Identify the change in state that does not have an increase in entropy. a. Water evaporating b. Dry ice subliming c. Water boiling d. Ice melting e. Water freezing

Respuesta :

Answer:

E. Water Freezing

Explanation:

Entropy refers to the degree of disorderliness of a system.  

A. Water Evaporating: There is an increase in entropy, this is because the phase change is from liquid to gas. Gas particles are more disordered than liquid.

B. Dry Ice sublimating: Sublimating refers to a phase change from solid to gas. This is an increase in entropy, this is because the gas particles are more disordered than solid particles

C. Water Boiling: The phase change is from liquid to gaseous state. There is an increase in entropy. Gas particles are more disordered than liquid.

D. Ice melting: The phase change is from solid to liquid state. There is an increase in entropy. Liquid particles are more disordered than that of solid.

E. Water Freezing: The phase change is from liquid to solid state. There is a decrease in entropy. solid particles are less disordered than those of liquid.
