Question

Rank each system described below from least to most entropy using the numbers on the right with 1 being the least entropy and 4 being the most entropy.

1 mole of solid sodium chloride at 25 ºC

      [ Choose ]            3            4            2            1      

1 mole of pure liquid water at 20 ºC

      [ Choose ]            3            4            2            1      

1 mole of pure liquid water at 80 ºC

      [ Choose ]            3            4            2            1      

1 mole of water vapor at 120 ºC

      [ Choose ]            3            4            2            1      

Explanation / Answer

1 mole of solid sodium chloride at 25 ºC - 1 - least entropy

1 mole of pure liquid water at 20 ºC - 2

1 mole of pure liquid water at 80 ºC - 3

1 mole of water vapor at 120 ºC - 4 - most entropy
