When you make ice cubes, the entropy of water
Options
- Adoes not change
- Bincreases
- Cdecreases
- 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, i e , it is a measure of disorder of a system. During formation of ice cubes orderedness increases, i e , disorderness decreases, hence entropy decreases.
