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

JIPMERJIPMER 2011Thermodynamics

Solution:

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