Get started for freeRank the following in order of increasing entropy: \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g}) ; \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\boldsymbol{\ell}) ; \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{s}) .\) In general, how are the entropy of the solid, liquid, and gaseous phases of a particular compound related? Explain your reasoning.
Is \(\Delta S\) for the following process positive or negative? Why? \(\mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{H}_{8}(\mathrm{~g} ; 298 \mathrm{~K} ; 1 \mathrm{~atm}) \rightleftarrows \mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{H}_{8}(\mathrm{~g} ; 398 \mathrm{~K} ; 1 \mathrm{~atm})\)
Is \(\Delta S\) for the following process positive or negative? Why? \(\mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{H}_{8}(\mathrm{~g} ; 298 \mathrm{~K} ; 1 \mathrm{~atm}) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{H}_{8}(\mathrm{~g} ; 298 \mathrm{~K} ; 0.5 \mathrm{~atm})\)
Is \(\Delta S\) for the following process positive or negative? Why? \(\mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{H}_{8}(\mathrm{~g}) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{4}(\mathrm{~g})\)
Write a chemical equation that describes the freezing of water, and indicate whether \(\Delta H\) for the process is positive, negative, or zero. Under what temperature conditions does this process naturally occur?
