Question

a piece of ice is added to water in a cup the entropy will​

Answer 1

The water will be as cool as the ice

Answer 2

When a piece of ice is added to water in a cup the entropy will​ increase.

• Entropy is measured as the randomness or disorder of the system
• When randomness in a system is greater than its entropy will also increase
• Entropy is directly proportional to the randomness of the system
• When water freezes to form ice then the entropy decreases because randomness in the solid particles is less than in liquid and air
• Therefore similarly when ice is kept in a cup of water then it will start melting soon then the randomness of the particle will increase and Hence entropy will also increase.
