Want this question answered?
Entropy increases. In a reaction comprised of sub-reactions, some sub-reactions may show a decrease in entropy but the entire reaction will show an increase of entropy. As an example, the formation of sugar molecules by living organisms is a process that shows decrease in entropy at the expense of the loss of entropy by the sun.
endothermic, increasing entropy
the energy content and entropy both decrease
Yes, they can occur spontaneously. This can be explained by entropy (measure of randomness/dispersion in a chemical system). For example; NH4NO3(s) + aq --> NH4+(aq) + NO3-(aq). The solid ammonium nitrate is converted to liquid ions. Therefore, the entropy increases, so the reaction can take place spontaneously.
You can decrease the entropy of a static body by reducing the temperature.
Guys watch out the question, if your question end with positive then the answer will be An endothermic reaction that decreases in entropy. If the question end with negative then its An exothermic reaction that increases in entropy--APEX hope this help
The difference can be clarified by entropy (the second rule of thermodynamics).The reaction is more spontaneous with higher entropy, for the reactions that occur spontaneously the entropy is higher than for the ones that do not.
Endothermic reactions take in energy from the surrounding so I think the entropy decreases.
An 'exothermic' reaction gives of energy, and an 'endothermic' reaction absorbs energy.

Negative entropy is a process or chemical reaction proceeds spontaneously in the forward direction.Positive entropy is a process proceeds spontaneously in reverse.
endothermic, increasing entropy
it is a Many chemical reactions release energy in the form of heat, light, or sound. These are exothermic reactions. Exothermic reactions may occur spontaneously and result in higher randomness or entropy (ΔS > 0) of the system. They are denoted by a negative heat flow (heat is lost to the surroundings) and decrease in enthalpy (ΔH < 0). In the lab, exothermic reactions produce heat or may even be explosive. There are other chemical reactions that must absorb energy in order to proceed. These are endothermic reactions. Endothermic reactions cannot occur spontaneously. Work must be done in order to get these reactions to occur. When endothermic reactions absorb energy, a temperature drop is measured during the reaction. Endothermic reactions are characterized by positive heat flow (into the reaction) and an increase in enthalpy (+ΔH).
Exothermic, because the reaction enthalpy must be negative. With polymerization, the entropy decreases. The Gibbs energy has to be negative. Thus negative reaction enthalpy. Gibbs energy = reaction enthalpy - temperature*entropy
the energy content and entropy both decrease
Chemical reactions occur spontaneously when the free energy of the product is less than the free energy of the reactants. Free energy is a combination of thermal energy (heat) and entropy. If thermal energy is absorbed during a reaction, there must be an exceptionally large increase in entropy to give a net reduction in free energy.
Endothermic; that reaction in which energy is absorbed is called endothermic reaction, mostly the breaking of a molecule is an endothermic reaction, as for breaking process energy is required, when a molecule gets the sufficient energy it breaks. EXOTHERMIC Reaction is that in which energy is released, as combining of any two element or atoms to make a molecule, take the example of formation of CO2.
