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)
- Dcheck_circle
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).
