The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the State of the Egg**: - In an unboiled egg, the proteins (specifically albumin) are in a coiled or clustered form. This arrangement has a specific level of order. 2. **Effect of Heat on the Egg**: - When heat is applied to the egg, it causes the proteins to denature, meaning they uncoil and lose their structured form. This transition from a coiled to an uncoiled state is crucial for understanding the change in disorder. 3. **Entropy and Disorder**: - Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness in a system. A coiled protein structure has less randomness (lower entropy) compared to an uncoiled structure, which is more random (higher entropy). 4. **Comparing States**: - In the unboiled egg, the entropy is lower due to the ordered, coiled state of the proteins. In contrast, when the egg is hard-boiled, the proteins are uncoiled, leading to an increase in randomness and thus an increase in entropy. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, when the egg is hard-boiled, there is an **increase in disorder** (or increase in entropy). The correct answer is that the disorder increases. 6. **Spontaneity of the Process**: - To determine if the process is spontaneous, we consider the Gibbs free energy (ΔG). A negative ΔG indicates a spontaneous process. However, boiling an egg requires the input of heat, which means it is not a spontaneous process. Thus, ΔG is not negative. ### Final Answer: - When the egg is hard boiled, there is an **increase in disorder** (entropy increases). ---
