Question

1)Which substance has the higher entropy?a) dry ice (solid CO2) at –78 OC or CO2(g) at 0 OCb) liquid water at 25 OC or liquid water at 50 OCc) pure alumina, Al2O3(s), or ruby (ruby is Al2O3 in which some Al3+ ions in the crystalline lattice are replaced with Cr3+ ions)d) one mole of N2(g) at 1 bar pressure or one mole of N2(g) at 10 bar pressure (both at 298 K) 

Expert Solution
Step 1

1. CO2(g) at 0oC has higher entropy than dry ice at -78oC, because gas has higher entropy due to its high disorderness.

2. Liquid water at 50oC has higher entropy than water at 25oC, as increase in temperature increases randomness.
