For the reaction H 2 O ( l ) ⟶ H 2 O ( g ) at T = 100 ° C and P = 1 atm , choose the correct option:
Options
- AΔS system   > 0 & ΔS surroundings   > 0
- BΔS system   > 0   &  ΔS surroundings   < 0
- CΔS system   < 0   &  ΔS surroundings   > 0
- DΔS system   < 0   &  ΔS surroundings   < 0
Correct answer
B. ΔS system   > 0   &  ΔS surroundings   < 0
Step-by-step solution
The given reaction is: H 2 O l   → H 2 O g It is the equilibrium reaction We know that at equilibrium position ∆ S universe   =   0 i Also, the relation between entropies of system and surrounding is ∆ S universe   = ∆ S system + ∆ S surrounding 0   = ∆ S system + ∆ S surrounding ∆ S system = - ∆ S surrounding So, from the given option ΔS system   > 0   &  ΔS surroundings   < 0
