Answer 1

$\huge{\boxed{\mathcal{\orange{Answer \: }}}}$

Explanation:

Entropy looks like decreases in the process of crystallization which is against 2nd law of thermodynamics. When a liquid crystallizes into a solid, it gives off heat to its surroundings (the latent heat of fusion). This heat causes an increase in the amount of disorder in the surroundings.
