Which of the following statements best describe entropy (more than one option may apply)Answers: A. Tendency for heat to seek its own levelB. Tendency for energy to disperse or spread outC. Tendency for reactants to be converted completely to products. D. Tendency for matter to disperse or spread out

What is entropy?A.Entropy is a measure of heat content.B.Entropy is a measure of energy in molecules.C.Entropy is a measure of randomness.D.Entropy is a measure of ability to do work.

True or False:1. Entropy is a measure of the number of possible ways that the energy of a systemcan be distributed.2. The second law of thermodynamics states that entropy is always decreasing.3. Gaseous state of matter has the greatest motion and least orderly arrangement.4. The internal energy is often called chemical energy because it is the result of all themotion of the particles and the forces between them.5. For a given chemical reaction, if there is no work done on or by the reaction, thenthere must be a change in volume.6. Entropy is a statistical measure of heat of a system.7. If a chemical reaction is spontaneous, the total entropy of the chemical system andits surroundings increases only if the reaction is endothermic.8. The preferred direction in nature is toward maximum entropy.9. The two forces that drive chemical change are enthalpy and entropy.10. If ΔS is calculated to be positive, there is greater disorder in the products, whichwould drive the reaction in the forward direction.

explain and use the term entropy

What causes the entropy to change when a solute dissolves in a solvent?A.The solute becomes conductive.B.The solute changes the vapor pressure.C.The solute becomes less ordered.D.The solute changes the enthalpy.

What would cause entropy to decrease in a reaction?A.The products gaining more mobility than the reactantsB.The products spreading out more than the reactantsC.The products becoming more ordered than the reactantsD.The products becoming more randomly arrangedSUBMITarrow_backPREVIOUS
