← ScienceWhich scenario occurs when cooling a closed, humid container past its dew point?
A)Condensation forms, increasing entropy locally✓
B)Sublimation increases to consume energy
C)Evaporation cools the container quickly
D)Humidity remains stable due to enthalpy
💡 Explanation
Condensation increases entropy because it shifts water from a dispersed gaseous phase to a more ordered liquid phase through the mechanism of deposition; therefore, localized entropy increases while energy disperses, rather than energy consumption via sublimation.
