1.	Rank the following in the order of increasing entropy : (a) 1 mole of H_(2)O(l) at 25^(@)C and 1 atm. Pressure. (b) 2 moleof H_(2)O(s) at 0^(@)C and 1 atm. Pressure. (c )1 moleof H_(2) O(v) at 100^(@)C and 1 atm. Pressure. (d) 1 moleof H_(2)O(l)at 0^(@)C and 1 atm. pressure.
Answer» SOLUTION :(b)`LT (d) lt (a) lt (C )`. This is because solid is LESS RANDOM than liquid which is tun is less random than gas .For the same state, at the same pressure, higher the temperature , greater is the randomness.
