Which of the following reactions would be expected to have the highest entropy change?

  • A. Liquid to Gas
  • B. Solid to Liquid
  • C. Gas to Liquid
  • D. Gas to Solid

Correct Answer: A. Liquid to Gas

Explanation

The phase change from a liquid to a gas involves an increase in entropy. In the gas phase, molecules have higher degrees of freedom and are more dispersed compared to the liquid phase, resulting in higher entropy change.
