The entropy change in the system above is

  • negative checkmark
  • indeterminate
  • positive
  • zero

The correct answer is: A

Explanation

Deposition is a thermodynamic process that occurs when a substance changes from a gas to a solid without passing through the liquid phase. This happens due to a decrease in temperature.The entropy change for the transition from gas to solid is negative because solids have lower entropy compared to gases, gas particles are more disordered and have a higher rate of motion compared to solids that have closely packed particles.
