The entropy change can be calculated by using the expression

ΔS =. When water freezes in a glass beaker, choose the correct statement amongst the following:

Freezing is an exothermic release so there will be release in energy, which is absorbed by surrounding.

ΔS _(system)=- and ΔS _{(surroundings)}=

Therefore, the entropy of system will be decrease and that of surrounding will be decrease.
