Hi teatea! The correct answer is (a): the entropy increases as snow becomes water vapor (that is, as snow sublimes, or as water goes from solid to gaseous state). "Entropy is a measure of the randomness or disorder of a substance. The entropy of a solid is less than of a liquid is less than of a gas. As the temperature increases, the substance becomes more disordered, its entropy increases."

If you have any doubt regarding this answer, please don't hesitate to request a clarification. Best wishes! elmarto |
