Thermodynamics and Thermochemistry - Result Question 25

####25. For the process, $H _2 O(l) \longrightarrow H _2 O(g)$ at $T=100^{\circ} C$ and 1 atmosphere pressure, the correct choice is

(a) $\Delta S _{\text {system }}>0$ and $\Delta S _{\text {surrounding }}>0$

(2014 Adv.)

(b) $\Delta S _{\text {system }}>0$ and $\Delta S _{\text {surrounding }}<0$

(c) $\Delta S _{\text {system }}<0$ and $\Delta S _{\text {surrounding }}>0$

(d) $\Delta S _{\text {system }}<0$ and $\Delta S _{\text {surrounding }}<0$

Solution:

  1. PLAN This problem is based on assumption that total entropy change of universe is zero.

At $100^{\circ} C$ and 1 atmosphere pressure,

$$ \begin{aligned} & \qquad H _2 O(l) \rightleftharpoons H _2 O(g) \text { is at equilibrium. } \ & \text { For equilibrium, } \quad \Delta S _{\text {total }}=0 \ & \text { and } \Delta S _{\text {system }}+\Delta S _{\text {surrounding }}=0 \end{aligned} $$

As we know during conversion of liquid to gas entropy of system increases, in a similar manner entropy of surrounding decreases.

$\therefore \quad \Delta S _{\text {system }}>0$ and $\Delta S _{\text {surrounding }}<0$
