Which process has the largest positive entropy change?
A.H₂O(l) → H₂O(g)
B.H₂O(s) → H₂O(l)
C.H₂O(g) → H₂O(l)
D.H₂O(l) → H₂O(s)
Explanation
Core Concept
Vaporization disperses molecules into a huge volume of free space, producing the biggest entropy gain. Gas formation is the strongest entropy booster among phase changes.
Correct Answer
AH₂O(l) → H₂O(g)
