$H_2O_{(s)} 	o H_2O_{(l)}$

Vedclass · Answer

(B) Entropy change $(\Delta S)$ is positive when the disorder of the system increases.In the reaction $H_2O_{(s)} 	o H_2O_{(l)}$,the substance changes from a solid state (ordered) to a liquid state (disordered).Since $S_{(liquid)} > S_{(solid)}$,the change in entropy $\Delta S = S_{(liquid)} - S_{(solid)}$ is positive $(+ve)$.In other options,the number of moles of gas decreases or the system becomes more ordered,leading to a negative entropy change.
