Video transcript

Hello everyone today. We are being asked to identify the sign for the entropy change of the system for the condensation of ethanol. So we can recall that condensation is a process of going from a gas to a liquid. In other words, we are going from a state with the highest entropy, which is gas, to a state of lower entropy, which is a liquid. And so we can therefore say that we are going to have a negative delta S. Sign for the entropy change. I hope this helped, and until next time.
