Which has greater entropy liquid water at 0 degrees C or ice at 0 degrees C?

The water. This is because it has greater positional disorder; if you know the position of one molecule you can say much less about the positions of all the others than you can in an ice crystal.
On the other hand, if we are maintaining the system at constant temperature and pressure, then at 0C the contribution to the entropy of the universe because of the water is the same whether it is liquid or solid. This is because when water freezes it give out a latent heat, increasing the entropy of its surroundings, which at 0C exactly cancels the ice's lower entropy.

Which has a greater volume 1 g of lead or 1 g of water?
It depends on if they are solid or liquid.
What is the weight of water at 32 degrees Fahrenheit?
32 degrees F is the triple point of water so that it can exist in all three of its phases: solid, liquid and vapour. The weight of water at that temperature will depend on the amount (volume) of water and on its phase.
Is a substance a liquid at 104 degrees F?
yes very many : water, beer, milk, oil, gasoline, juice and so on
When liquid is at 0 degrees c does it freeze?
Pure water at 0 deg C and at a pressure of 760 millimetres of mercury freezes. If it is any other liquid, or if it contains solutes or is at a higher pressure it will not.
What has greater mass 1mL or 4mL?
our bodies are mainly composed of liquid (water), which is measured in ml's, so 4ml's has greater mass eventhough is not solid, it's still part of the weight added to anything solid or space.
Why does the entropy of water increase as it warms from 0 degrees to 4 degrees?
Heat (in water) is random molecular motion, so greater heat equals greater disorder, hence more entropy.
What describes the phases of water Water expands as it changes from a solid to a liquid?
the entropy of water is higher than the entropy of ice.
Is water vaporizing entropy?
The transition of water (or of anything) from the liquid phase to the gas phase does constitute an increase in entropy.
Which has a higher entropy a hot water or a cold water?
Entropy is the measure of disorderness. Hot water --> more energy --> less stable --> more disorderness (than Cold water). Therefore, Entropy of Hot water is greater than that of Cold water.
When can liquid water remain above 100 degrees Celsius?
Water can remain liquid at a temperature above 100 degrees, C., when the pressure on it is greater than the pressure found at average sea level.
What phase has the lowest entropy?
Solid to liquid
What is the entropy at critical point?
The total entropy of steam at critical pressure and temperature is equal to 1.0785 btu/lb. (as liquid water does not exist at critical pressure and temperature the entropy of liquid is 0) *from Elementary Steam Power Engineering, E. McNaughton, 1923
Which list of phases of H2O is arranged in order of increasing entropy?
ice, liquid water, and steam
Can entropy effect osmosis?
In a nutshell, yes. The water will go from a higher concentration to a lower concentration to increase the entropy of the lower concentration area. The increase in entropy of the lower concentration area would be greater than the loss of entropy of the higher concentration giving you a NET increase in total entropy.
What does liquid water turn into?
Ice melts into liquid water at 0 degrees C, 32 degrees F.
What properties does liquid water have that ice does not?
Properties differences between liquid and solis water: density, specific heat, standard molar entropy, refractive index, thermal coductivity, the liquid has viscosity etc.
Why can't water be thermometric liquid?
Because of its limited range. Water boils at 100 degrees C, and freezes at 0 degrees C. This means it's useless for measuring temperatures lower than about 5 degrees - or greater than about 95.
