QUESTION:

Water evaporates from a salt solution and leaves behind salt crystals that have a higher degree of molecular order than the more randomly moving molecules in the saltwater. Has the entropy principle been violated? Why or why not?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

The order of the salt crystals is at the expense of a larger disorder of the water in the vapour state after evaporation, hence the entropy principle has not been violated.
