If comparing a solid liquid or gas phase of H20 which has the highest entropy?

entropy is greater the more possible arrangements for energy there are, which increases as the molecules become more mobile, so entropy is high in a gas, lower in a liquid, and lowest in a solid.

The entropy of H20 gas at standard atmospheric pressure is about 7.35 kj/kg*k and H20 liquid at 1 atmosphere is about 1.3 kj/kg*k.

Which phase has the highest entropy?
Gas
What phase has the lowest entropy?
Solid to liquid
Which of the following has greater entropy bromine vapor or liquid bromine Iodine vapor or solid iodine Justify your answer.?
Vapors always have more entropy than liquids of the same substance at the same temperature, because the number of energy states accessible to molecules in the vapor phase is much greater than in the liquid phase.
What would cause entropy to increase in reaction?
The products becoming more spread out.
How does change in phase affect entropy changes in a reaction?
It happens because, even in the same compound, atoms/molecules in different phases have different types of behaviour. For example, unlike solids, liquid and gas molecules can 'flow' around.
What is entropy and which phase of matter has the the highest entropy?
Plasma
Is water vaporizing entropy?
The transition of water (or of anything) from the liquid phase to the gas phase does constitute an increase in entropy.

Gas
Which physical state of nitrogen has the highest entropy?
The gas phase. That is true of any substance. Gases, because they are free to move about the entire volume of any container have much more entropy than either liquid or solids (and liquids have more than solids). The more ways the atoms are free to move around, the more entropy they have.

The change of a liquid into a vapor at temperature below the bowling point?
Liquid may change into a vapor below the liquid's boiling point (or solid into vapor below the freezing point, think shrinking ice-cubes). This is a very difficult phenomanon the explain. The second law of thermodynamics explains that at every moment, the ammount of randomness of all matter in the universe is increasing. This randomness is called entropy. Entropy is a property of matter. The greater the number of locations and positions any given atom may randomly occupy at any given time, the greater that atom's entropy. This is to say that the molecules in a liquid would prefer to be in the vapor phase because it would increase their entropy. However, they're held down in the liquid phase because of the inter-molecular forces they experience between one another. If their temperature were higher, they would have enough energy (velocity) to escape the liquid phase. Luckily, at a given temperature, not every molecule has the same kinetic energy. There is actually a distribution of velocities (Maxwell-Boltzman distribution). The molecules having a high velocity manage to escape the intermolecular forces of the liquid phase and escape into the vapor phase. The higher energy molecules escaping the liquid phase decreases the average molecular velocity and causes the liquid temperature to decrease. This is why you feel cold after you get out of the shower. Your body heat is transferred to the water molecules which then evaporate The closer a liquid is to its boiling point, the greater the number of molecules there are that have enough kinetic energy to overcome the intermolecular forces and escape into the vapor phase, thus the higher the rate of evaporation.
What phase is it when ice melts?
Liquid phase: liquid water
What would cause entropy to increase in reaction?
The products becoming more spread out.
Why is gaseous phase of ethanol preferable to liquid phase?
The liquid phase is preferable for drinks and solvents.
What phase has a fixed volume but not a fixed shape?
This phase is a liquid.
Is vaporization a liquid to a gas?
yes it is transition from the liquid phase to gas phase
