To determine in which of the following processes entropy increases, we need to analyze each option based on the concept of entropy, which is a measure of disorder or randomness in a system. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Rusting of Iron**: - In this process, iron reacts with moisture and oxygen to form rust (Fe2O3·xH2O), which is a solid. - **Analysis**: The transition from elemental iron to rust involves the formation of a solid from elements, which generally leads to a decrease in randomness. - **Conclusion**: Entropy decreases in this process. ...
