Question

Which scenario best describes an increase in the entropy of a system?

A solid salt dissolves in water.
A solid precipitates Gut of solution.
Eliminate
A liquid solidifies at its freezing point.
A gas condenses to a liquid as temperature decreases.

Answer 1

Answer: A) A solid salt dissolves in water.

Step-by-step explanation:

A solid, like a salt, dissociates into ions as it dissolves in liquid. The particles (ions) become more spaced apart and with greater randomness. This is increasing entropy.
