1.	The standardmolar entropy of H_(2)O(l)is 70 JK^(-1) mol^(-1). Will the standard molar entropy of H_(2)O(s) be more, or less than 70 JK^(-1) mol^(-1) ?
Answer» Solution :In ice, moleculesof`H_(2)O` are LESS RANDOM than in LIQUID water. HENCE , molar entropy of ice, `H_(2)O(s)`, will be less thanthat of liquid water, `H_(2)O(l)`.
