The correct Answer is:
To determine why the process of converting liquid water (H₂O(l)) to gaseous water (H₂O(g)) at normal pressure and 274 K is non-spontaneous, we can analyze the given entropy changes for the system and surroundings. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Data:** - Change in entropy of the system (ΔS_system) = -22.13 J/K - Change in entropy of the surroundings (ΔS_surr) = +22.05 J/K - Temperature (T) = 274 K 2. **Calculate the Change in Entropy of the Universe (ΔS_universe):** \[ ΔS_{universe} = ΔS_{system} + ΔS_{surr} \] Substituting the values: \[ ΔS_{universe} = -22.13 \, \text{J/K} + 22.05 \, \text{J/K} = -0.08 \, \text{J/K} \] 3. **Determine Spontaneity:** - For a process to be spontaneous, the change in entropy of the universe (ΔS_universe) must be greater than zero (ΔS_universe > 0). - In this case, we found that ΔS_universe = -0.08 J/K, which is less than zero. 4. **Conclusion:** - Since ΔS_universe is negative, the process of converting liquid water to gaseous water at 274 K is non-spontaneous. ### Final Answer: The process is non-spontaneous because the change in entropy of the universe (ΔS_universe) is negative. ---
