Q10 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2022 (06 Jul Shift 1) · Chemistry

Identify the reaction/process in which the entropy decreases

  • Correct answer
    A
    $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ (l) $\longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ (s)
  • B
    $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ (l) $\longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ (g)
  • C
    $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g}) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}(\mathrm{g})$
  • D
    Crystal $(100 \mathrm{~K}) \longrightarrow$ Crystal $(200 \mathrm{~K})$

Solution

Solid to liquid phase transition decreases the entropy

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
