For the reaction H2O(l)H2O(g) at T=100°C and P=1 atm, choose the correct option:
  1. ΔSsystem >0&ΔSsurroundings >0
  2. ΔSsystem >0 ΔSsurroundings <0
  3. ΔSsystem <0 ΔSsurroundings >0
  4. ΔSsystem <0 ΔSsurroundings <0

Solution

The given reaction is:

H2Ol H2Og

It is the equilibrium reaction

We know that at equilibrium position

Suniverse = 0         i

Also, the relation between entropies of system and surrounding is

Suniverse =Ssystem+Ssurrounding0 =Ssystem+SsurroundingSsystem=-Ssurrounding

So, from the given option

ΔSsystem >0 ΔSsurroundings <0
