Does an ice cube have more entropy than room temp water? I would intuitively think it doesn't because its atoms are more organized in a lattice vibrating like a solid. Conversely water would be more spread out and disorganized. However, the equation
s = q / t
states that the higher the temperature something has, the lower the entropy. So an ice cube would be colder than water making it have more entropy.
