Question

What happens to the entropy when the evaporation of water takes place?

Answer 1

Entropy:

• Entropy as a measure of the degree of randomness or disorder in the system.
• Entropy is higher when the disorders in an isolated system increase.

Evaporation:

• It is a process in which a phase transformation occurs from a liquid to a vapor phase.
• During evaporation, as the liquid state changes to a vapor state, the randomness between the particles increases, due to which the entropy of the system also increases.
