You're sitting in a chair drinking a glass of water in a room temperature class. How is it that the chair is a solid, the water is a liquid, and the air you're breathing a solid if the entire room is the same temp? What about the substances make them different states at the same temperature?

dats a good question.. i never thought qbt that

Explanation:

The difference is there specific heat, and the temeture at which they need to be to stay solid liquid or gas.

Explanation:

btw air is a gas not a solid

definition

                    entropy is a measure of the randomness or the extent of disorder of a chemical process.

                      enthalpy is a measure of the heat change of a reaction occurring at a constant pressure.

measurement units:

                        entropy is measured in joule per kelvin (jk⁻¹)   whereas enthalpy is measured in joule per mole (jmol⁻¹)

requirements:

                            entropy has no requirements or limits, and its change is measured by the division between the heat change of the chemical process and the temperature.

                              in contrast, enthalpy can only be related to the heat change of the reaction under standard conditions.
