S solid liquid gas

Which ranking of standard molar entropy is correct based on the chart?

  • A

    S°(solid) > S°(liquid) > S°(gas)

  • B

    All three phases have equal entropy

  • C

    S°(liquid) > S°(gas) > S°(solid)

  • D

    S°(gas) > S°(liquid) > S°(solid)

Explanation

Particles in the gas phase are most disordered, then liquid, then solid (most ordered), so S°(gas) > S°(liquid) > S°(solid).
