Did the snows entropy increase or decrease while in your hand?
Increase. The heat from your hand will melt the snow causing it to go from a low entropy solid state to a higher entropy liquid state.
What happens to the entropy in the reaction?
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.
Does crystallisation increase or decrease entropy?
Entropy is the tendency of the universe to become more disorganized. Photosynthesis decreases entropy because it takes a larger number of reactants and converts them into a more organized form of energy, where there are less products than reactants. 6 H2O + 6 CO2 ---> C6H12O6 + 6 O2
How can you decrease the entropy of static body?
You can decrease the entropy of a static body by reducing the temperature.
What could happen in nature to increase or decrease the slope of a stream?
erosion deposition weathering and a lot more...
When the total amount of entropy or disorder in the Universe will it increase or decrease?
Increase.
When you straighten up your work space do you increase or decrease the entropy of your work space?
decrease
Did the ice's entropy increase or decrease over time?
increased
Did the snows entropy increase or decrease while in your hand?
Increase. The heat from your hand will melt the snow causing it to go from a low entropy solid state to a higher entropy liquid state.
When a student cleans their dorm room the entropy of the system must decrease How is this NOT a violation of the second law of thermodynamics?
If you include the student in the system, the entropy will increase, not decrease.
Can you decrease the entropy if yes then how and if not then why?
You cannot reduce entropy because entropy increases (Second Law of Thermodynamics), if you could, we could have perpetual motion. When work is achieved energy is lost to heat. The only way to decrease the entropy of a system is to increase the entropy of another system.
How entropy relate to heat and temperature?
Entropy means disorderness in interatomic state. When heat is given, temp. rises and entropy increase as mobility in inner part increase. But when we cool down substance, entropy decrease as mobility slow down.

Does entropy increase or decrease due to friction?
Entropy is a measure of disorder. Heat is a very low order form of energy. Friction produces heat energy and hence entropy tends to increase due to friction.
What is isentropic?
A process takes place from initiation to completion without an increase or decrease in the entropy
