Q. When you make ice cubes, the entropy of water

Rajasthan PMTRajasthan PMT 2007Thermodynamics

Solution:

The entropy function gives us a numerical measure of the irreversibility of a given process ie, it is a measure of disorder of a system. During formation of ice cubes orderedness increases ie, disorderness decreases, hence entropy decreases.
