COMEDK · Chemistry · 6. Thermodynamics (C)
In which of the following process, a maximum increase in entropy is observed?
- A dissolution of salt in water
- B condensation of water
- C sublimation of naphthalene
- D melting of ice
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) sublimation of naphthalene
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
During sublimation of naphthalene, phase changes from solid to gaseous state. Hence, the randomness of the particles increases drastically. \(\therefore\) It has maximum increase in entropy,
