Which of the following sets of systems are in order of increasing entropy?
(A) $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l), \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(g), \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{s})$
(B) $\mathrm{H}_{2}(g), \mathrm{HBrO}_{4}(g), \mathrm{HBr}(g)$
(C) $\mathrm{He}(g), \operatorname{Ar}(g), \mathrm{Ne}(g)$
(D) $\mathrm{He}(g), \mathrm{Cl}_{2}(g), \mathrm{P}_{4}(g)$

Question

Accepted Answer

***D*** ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹Entropy⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness in a system. In gases, entropy is higher due to the greater freedom of movement of the particles. Among the given options, $\mathrm{He}(g)$, $\mathrm{Cl}_{2}(g)$, and $\mathrm{P}_{4}(g)$ are in order of increasing molecular complexity and thus increasing entropy.⚹◊What is the correct order of increasing entropy among the given sets of systems in the multiple choice question related to chemistry?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
