Answer #1

H2O(l) <===> H2O(s)

As we know that water loses heat and forms ice(that's why for formation of ice, we try to decrease the temperature of system so that maximum heat can be released.)

Heat is released when water changes from liquid to solid.

So,\Delta H is negative.

Entropy(S) is denoted from  randomness of particle.Greater the randomness,greater will be its entropy.

As particles in solid are more closely packed than liquid, so randomness in solid is lesser than that of liquid.

This shows that entropy of liquid is greater than that of solid,So \Delta S is negative.
