State the characteristics of entropy.

For which of the following processes is the entropy change $(\Delta S)$ negative?
$I)$ Sublimation of dry ice
$II)$ Freezing of water
$III)$ Crystallisation of the dissolved substance
$IV)$ Burning of rocket fuel

The value of $\Delta S$ for freezing of $10 \ g$ of $H_2O_{(l)}$ (enthalpy of fusion is $80 \ cal/g$) at $0 \ ^\circ C$ and $1 \ atm$ pressure is.......$J/K$

$STATEMENT-1:$ There is a natural asymmetry between converting work to heat and converting heat to work.
$STATEMENT-2:$ No process is possible in which the sole result is the absorption of heat from a reservoir and its complete conversion into work.

If the enthalpy of vaporization for water is $186.5 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,the entropy of its vaporization will be ...... $J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$ (Assume the boiling point of water is $373 \ K$).

Which of the following processes takes place with a decrease of entropy?
