Question

Given the balanced equation:

I2(s) + energy ==> I2(g)
As a sample of I2(s) sublimes to I2(g), the entropy of the sample
(1) increases because the particles are less randomly arranged
(2) increases because the particles are more randomly arranged
(3) decreases because the particles are less randomly arranged
(4) decreases because the particles are more randomly arranged

Answer 1

As a sample of 12 (s) sublimes to 12 (g), the entropy of the sample Increases because the particles are more randomly arranged.
