When you make ice cubes, the entropy of water

When you make ice cubes, the entropy of water

Options

  1. Adoes not change
  2. Bincreases
  3. Cdecreases
  4. Dmay either increase or decrease depending on the process used

Correct answer

C. decreases

Step-by-step solution

The entropy function gives us a numerical measure of the irreversibility of a given process, iei e, it is a measure of disorder of a system. During formation of ice cubes orderedness increases, iei e, disorderness decreases, hence entropy decreases.
