In which of the following process, a maximum increase in entropy is observed?

A

Melting of ice

B

Sublimation of naphthalene

C

Condensation of water

D

Dissolution of salt in water

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Sublimation of naphthalene `rightarrow` As sublimation involves the conversion of solid into gaseous state directly.Therefore there is a larger/maximum increase in entropy as the highly ordered solid goes to highly (most) disordered gaseous state.Therefore `DeltaS ` = maximu for the sublimation of naphthalene.
