When a solid melts reversibly

A

G increases

B

H decreases

C

E decreases

D

S increases

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Due to melting of a solid, corresponding liquid is formed. Since liquid has higher disorder than the corresponding solid, entropy increases. For a reversible process. `Delta G =0`. For melting, `Delta H` and `Delta E` are positive as energy is absorbed.
