One mole of which of the following has the highest entropy?
- A Liquid nitrogen
- B Hydrogen gas
- C Mercury
- D Diamond
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Hydrogen gas
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Entropy is the measure of degree of disorder (or randomness) of a system. The greater the disorder in a system, the higher is the entropy. Hence, entropy is highest for hydrogen gas.
