Answer:
All of the above processes have a ΔS < 0.
Explanation:
ΔS represents change in entropy of a system. Entropy refers to the degree of disorderliness of a system.
The question requests us to identify the process that has a negative change of entropy.
carbon dioxide(g) → carbon dioxide(s)
There is a change in state from gas to solid. Solid particles are more ordered than gas particles so this is a negative change in entropy.
water freezes
There is a change in state from liquid to solid. Solid particles are more ordered than liquid particles so this is a negative change in entropy.
propanol (g, at 555 K) → propanol (g, at 400 K)
Temperature is directly proportional to entropy, this means higher temperature leads t higher entropy.
This reaction highlights a drop in temperature which means a negative change in entropy.
methyl alcohol condenses
Condensation is the change in state from gas to liquid. Liquid particles are more ordered than gas particles so this is a negative change in entropy.
