Abbott · Answer 1

A. Right side since CO2 has has more entropy than solid CO2

B. Right side since gaseous CO2 is present on right side

C. Left side since more no of gaseous molecules om left side

D. Right side since on heating of water at 52C starts boiling hence more entropy for vapour.

Explanation:

Generally entropy is the measurement of randomness and follows the order gas>liquid>solid
