At standard pressure, which 5.0-gram sample of xenon has the greatest entropy?
(1) Xe(s) at 161 K (3) Xe(l) at 165 K
(2) Xe(l) at 161 K (4) Xe(g) at 165 K
Solution:
Entropy represents disorder. Gases are more disordered than liquids. Liquids are more disordered than solids. Greatest entropy means the most disorder and should be a gas (g). Choice 4 is the correct answer choice.
