Question
Which is the best description of the relationship between the absolute entropies, S°, of solid water at 100 K and at 200 K?
A.
S°200K is smaller because entropy decreases as temperature increases.
B.
S°200K is smaller because the surroundings are more disordered at higher temperatures.
C.
S°100K = S°200K because water is in the solid phase at both temperatures.
D.✓ Correct
S°200K is larger because the vibration of the molecules increases as temperature increases.
