Chapter 1, Problem 6E

(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether liquid water at 0°C has greater entropy or ice at 0°C.

Introduction: Entropy is based on the concept that in an isolated system, everything in nature tends to move from order to disorder. It is a state of randomness in matter. Gas particles have higher energy than solid or liquid particles. Gas particles can randomly move; thus, they have high entropy than liquid and solids.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The difference in entropy of ice at -5°C from its entropy at -50°C.

Introduction: Entropy is based on the concept that in an isolated system, everything in nature tends to move from order to disorder. It is a state of randomness in matter. Gas particles have higher energy than solid or liquid particles. Gas particles can randomly move; thus, they have high entropy than liquids and solids. It varies with change in temperature.
