Which of the Following Has the Most Entropy

Question

Which of the following has the most entropy?
A) steam
B) snow
C) an ice cube
D) hot water
E) liquid water

Accepted Answer

Entropy is a measure of the disorder or randomness of a system. Steam has the most disorder and randomness compared to the other options, as its particles are in constant motion and spread out over a larger volume. Snow and an ice cube have a more ordered crystalline structure, while hot water and liquid water have particles that are more closely packed and have less randomness than steam.
