question: Student 1: I think that 1 kg of steam and 1 kg of the hydrogen and oxygen atoms that would comprise that steam should have the same entropy because they have the same temperature and amount of stuff. Student 2: But there are three times as many particles moving about with the individual atoms not bound together in a molecule. I think if there are more particles moving, there should be more disorder, meaning its entropy should be higher. Do you agree or disagree with either or both of these students? Briefly explain your reasoning.
2. For each pair of systems, circle the one with the larger entropy. If they both have the same entropy, explicitly state it. a. 1 kg of ice or 1 kg of steam b. 1 kg of water at 20°C or 2 kg of water at 20°C c. 1 kg of water at 20°C or 1 kg of water at 50°C d. 1 kg of steam (H₂0) at 200°C or 1 kg of hydrogen and oxygen atoms at 200°C Two students are discussing their answers to the previous
