$\Delta S_{surr}$ for an exothermic reaction is

$STATEMENT-1:$ There is a natural asymmetry between converting work to heat and converting heat to work.
$STATEMENT-2:$ No process is possible in which the sole result is the absorption of heat from a reservoir and its complete conversion into work.

What is meant by absolute entropy?

The enthalpy of vaporization of water is $186.5 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$. What is the entropy of vaporization in $kJ \, K^{-1} \, mol^{-1}$?

Ice at $-5^{\circ} C$ is heated to become vapor with a temperature of $110^{\circ} C$ at atmospheric pressure. The entropy change associated with this process can be obtained from:

Identify from the following physical transformations that exhibits a decrease in entropy.
