Question

Identify whether the following pair have a larger entropy or not. If yes then Why?

O₂{g) at 1 atm or O₂(g) at 10 atm both at the same temperature.

Answer 1

O₂(g) at 1 atm will occupy more volume than O₂(g) at 10 atm at the same temperature. Hence, at 1 atm O₂(g) will have higher disorder and hence higher entropy.
