Assertion:The change in entropy during melting of ice is negligible in comparison to change in entropy during vaporisation.
Reason:The volume occupied by solid and liquids is too less in comparison to volume occupied by gas.

Options

A. `S` is correct but `E` is wrong.
B. `S` is wrong but `E` are correct and `E`
C. Both `S` and `E` are correct but `E` is correct explanation of `S`.
D. Both `S` and `E` are correct but `E` is not correct explanation of `S`.

Answer

c

Explanation

Reson is correct explanation for statement.
`DeltaS_(vap.)=S_("vapour)-S_(liq.)`
and `DeltaS_(fus.)=S_((L))-S_((S))`
`DeltaS_(vap.)gt gt gtDeltaS_("fusion")`
Gaseous state has more disordered system.
