Vedclass · Answer

(C) Entropy is the measure of disorder or randomness in a system. For a given substance,the entropy follows the order: $S_{	ext{gas}} > S_{	ext{liquid}} > S_{	ext{solid}}$. In option $A$,two gas molecules combine to form one gas molecule,leading to a decrease in the number of particles and thus a decrease in entropy. In option $B$,gas converts to solid,which significantly decreases the randomness,so entropy decreases. In option $C$,liquid converts to gas,which increases the degree of randomness,so entropy increases. In option $D$,gas and solid reactants form a solid product,resulting in a decrease in the number of gaseous moles,leading to a decrease in entropy.

Identify the reaction/process in which the entropy increases.
