Question

Which 10-milliliter sample of water has the greatest degree of disorder?A)H2O(g) at 120°CB)H2O() at 80°CC)H2O() at 20°CD)H2O(s) at 0°C

Answer 1

Answer:

A) H₂O at 120°C

Explanation:

It is possible to think the higher temperature, the greatest degree of disorder. That is because with a high temperature, vibrations of molecules increases.

In general, at low temperatures, the molecules are in solid state (The lowest degree of disorder), increasing its temperature, molecules becomes in liquids, and, with more temperature, are gases (The greatest degree of disorder).

Thus, the sample that has the greatest degree of disorder is:

A) H₂O at 120°C
