explain why the entropy of one mole of solid iodine at normal conditions is less than the entropy of one mole of gaseous chlorine at normal conditions
Entropy always depends on the three state of matter. It is divided into three parts like solid, liquid and gases. as per that state of matter, it will get changed Always gas particles have greater entropy values than liquid particles. and liquid particles have greater entropy than solid particles.
Gas Aqueous solutions
Liquids
Solids
change of entropy
is given the symbol S
I2(S) + Energy
I2(g)
In this example, there is one mole of solid on the left-hand side and one mole of gas on the right-hand side- the entropy increases going from left to right it means reactant to product.
entropy will increase when in reaction process solid changes to a liquid or gaseous stage or liquid changes to a gas
