Question

When water freezes, its molecules take on a more structured order.Why doesn't this contradict the second law of thermodynamics? a. because the density of the water is decreasing b. because the water is gaining entropy as it goes from aliquid to a solid state c. because the water's internal energy is decreasing d. because the surroundings are gaining entropy e. because the surroundings are losing entropy a. because the density of the water is decreasing b. because the water is gaining entropy as it goes from aliquid to a solid state c. because the water's internal energy is decreasing d. because the surroundings are gaining entropy e. because the surroundings are losing entropy
