Chapter 6, Problem 6.24E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The applicability of ${\Delta }_{\text{trans}}S$ at standard pressure to the extreme condition of pressure necessary for the stated phase transition is to be stated. Also, the accuracy of answer to exercise 6.23 is to be predicted.

Concept introduction: Entropy is a thermodynamic property which shows the randomness or disorder of the atoms within the system.

The randomness of the molecules increases when solid is melted and liquid is converted into vapor state. As in vapor state particles move freely because they are at larger distances from each other.
