When steam condenses to water at 90oC, the entropy of the system decreases. What must be true if the second law of thermodynamics is to be satisfied?
- Entropy of the universe also decreases.
- Entropy of the surroundings also decreases.
- Entropy of the surroundings increases to same extent to which entropy of the system decreases.
- Increase in entropy in the surroundings is greater than decrease in entropy of the system.
Answer
(D) Increase in entropy in the surroundings is greater than decrease in entropy of the system.
