NEET Chemistry Entropy MCQ Question
Which of the following combinations correctly describe the effect of entropy in a system?
A liquid crystallizing into a solid results in decreased entropy. Raising the temperature of a crystalline solid from 0 K to 115 K results in increased entropy.
A liquid crystallizing into a solid results in increased entropy. Raising the temperature of a crystalline solid from 0 K to 115 K results in decreased entropy.
A liquid crystallizing into a solid has no effect on entropy. Raising the temperature of a crystalline solid from 0 K to 115 K has no effect on entropy.
A liquid crystallizing into a solid results in increased entropy. Raising the temperature of a crystalline solid from 0 K to 115 K results in increased entropy.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
When a liquid crystallizes into a solid, the molecules attain an ordered state, leading to a decrease in entropy. Conversely, raising the temperature from 0 K to 115 K causes the particles to move, resulting in an increase in entropy.
