Predict the sign of the entropy change for each of the following change of state.(a) Hg(l) → Hg(g)(b) AgNO3(s) → AgNO3(aq)(c) I2(g) → I2(s)(d) C(graphite) → C(diamond)

Answer»

(a) +ve (because gases are highly random than liquid)

ΔS = S(g) - S(e) = +ve

(b) +ve (because ions are in more random state in aqueous solution as compared to solid state.)

ΔS = s(aq) - S(s) = +ve

(c) -ve (because gases are highly more random than solid)

ΔS = S(s) - S(g) = -ve

(d) Zero

Diamond and graphite both are solid and in crystalline state.
