When sugar is dissolved in tea, the reaction is always accomplished by

A.

positive change

B.

negative entropy change

C.

no entropy change

D.

a minimum entropy change

Correct answer is A

The dissolution of sugar in tea is accompanied by positive change in entropy. When there is a change in the state of a substance from solid to liquid, there is an increase in entropy. In general, if a substance changes its structure from a condensed state to a less condensed state, then we say there is an increase in entropy.
