C) H2O (g) > H2O (s) > H2O (l)

D) H2O (l) > H2O (s) > H2O (g)

E) H2O (s) > H2O (g) > H2O (l)

2. For the following example, identify the following.

H2O (l) H2O(s)

A) a negative H and a positive S

B) a positive H and a negative S

C) a negative H and a negative S

D) a positive H and a positive S
