How does the entropy of a system change for each of the following processes? (a) A solid melts. (b) A liquid freezes. (c) A liquid boils. (d) A vapor is converted to a solid. (e) A vapor condenses to a liquid. (f) A solid sublimes. (g) Urea dissolves in water.

How does the entropy of a system change for each of the following processes? (a) Bromine liquid vaporizes. (b) Water freezes to form ice. (c) Naphthalene, the key component of mothballs, sublimes. (d) Sugar crystals form from a supersaturated solution. (e) A block of lead melts. (f) Iodine vapor condenses to form solid iodine. (g) Carbon tetrachloride dissolves in liquid benzene.
Describe how a system's entropy changes if the system becomes more disordered during a process.
