Question

When you make ice cubes, the entropy of water: (A) does not change (B) increases (C) decreases (D) may either increase or decrease depending on the process used

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 ordered ness increases, i.e., disorder ness decreases, hence entropy decreases.
