Hello.
00:01
Today we'll talk about chapter 11, question 24, which asks us to consider the entropy of different states.
00:11
And so specifically, we're asked why the entropy of a liquid is generally larger than that of a solid, or in the solid state.
00:20
So let's here just draw an ice cube.
00:24
It's in this cup of water.
00:28
And so in this ice cube, we have water molecules that are all packed into a rigid, they're in a repeating order.
00:39
They're quite ordered.
00:42
And so they have very little disorder.
00:46
They can't move pretty much at all.
00:48
They're enclosed in this cube.
00:52
And as a result, there aren't many possibilities that they can kind of exist in.
00:59
They just all have to have the same orientation and so on...
