Answer to Question #78407 in General Chemistry for Chloe Lozano

Question

Which of the following statements is correct?

A. The solid state has the least amount of entropy associated with it.
B. The gaseous state has the least amount of entropy associated with it.
C. The entropy of a system decreases as the matter in the system increases.
D. The entropy of a system decreases as the temperature in the system increases.
E. None of the Above

Answer 1

Solution: The solid state has the least amount of entropy associated with it. The entropy of the liquid state is higher; and the The entropy of the liquid state is higher; and the entropy of the gaseous state is the highest of all. So, correct answer is The solid state has the least amount of entropy associated with it. Answer: A. The solid state has the least amount of entropy associated with it.
