Which example has the greatest increase in entropy,∆S?
A)freezing water
B)sublimation of CO₂
C)melting ice
D)boiling gasoline

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sublimation involves the transformation of a solid to a gas, and this process results in the greatest increase in entropy. In this case, the particles go from a well-ordered solid phase to a highly disordered gaseous phase, which results in a higher increase in entropy compared to the other options given.
