ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
We need to choose the substance with the higher positional entropy (per mole) at a given temperature.
a. Solid and gaseous
b. gas at and gas at
Entropy is a thermodynamic function that describes the number of arrangements (positions and/or energy levels) that are available to a system existing in a given state. It can be viewed as a molecular disorder or randomness.
