Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Entropy is a measure of randomness or disorder.(A) Liquid to vapor: Randomness increases significantly. ()(B) Lowering temperature: Kinetic energy and randomness decrease. ()(C) Solid decomposing into solid and gases: Number of moles of gas increases. ()(D) One mole of gas dissociating into two moles of gas: Number of particles increases. ()
