What the would result in a decrease in entropy?
The meaning is more order.
What processes result in a decrease in entropy and internal energy?
Processes that result in a decrease in entropy and internal energy typically involve the transfer of energy out of a system, such as in exothermic reactions or phase transitions like freezing. In these cases, the system loses heat to its surroundings, leading to a more ordered state and lower entropy. Additionally, work done on the system, such as compression, can also decrease internal energy and entropy if it results in a more organized arrangement of particles. Overall, these processes favor stability and order at the expense of energy availability.
Is there anyway to decrease the entropy?
Only by increasing the entropy of another system.
When water becomes ice the entropy decreases does this contradict the second law?
No, because the entropy of the surroundings must increase more than the decrease in the water->ice transition, thus the net change in the entropy of the universe is positive, consistent with the second law.
Does diffusion involve a decrease in entropy?
no.
Reactions would result in decreased entropy?
Water Freezing
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.
What would happen to the entropy in the reaction 2O3 g 3O2 g?
It increases
How can you decrease the entropy of static body?
To decrease the entropy of a static body, you would need to decrease the disorder or randomness of its particles. This can be achieved by cooling the body, which can lower the thermal motion of its particles and reduce their entropy. Other methods include applying pressure to order the particles or removing impurities that contribute to disorder.
What results in decrease in entropy?

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.
