For the process `H_(2)O(l) rarr H_(2)O(g)` at `T=100 ^(@)C` and 1 atmosphere pressure, the correct choice isA. `DeltaS_("system") gt 0` and `DeltaS _("surroundings") gt 0`B. `DeltaS_("system") gt 0` and `DeltaS _("surroundings") lt 0`C. `DeltaS_("system") lt 0` and `DeltaS _("surroundings") gt 0`D. `DeltaS_("system") lt 0` and `DeltaS _("surroundings") lt 0`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
At `T= 100^(@)C` and 1 atmosphere presssure (i.e.,boilingpoint ) ,thereexists the equilibrim
`H_(2)O(l) hArr H_( 2)O (g)`,
For this conditions,`DeltaS_("total") = 0`
Hence,`DeltaS_("system") + Delta_("surroundings") = 0`
or `DeltaS_("system") = - DeltaS_("surroundings")`
But as `H_(2)O(l)` changes into `H_(2)O(g)`,
`DeltaS_("system") = + ve , i.e., gt 0`
`:. DeltaS_("surroundings")` willbe`lt 0`.
