What in entropy?
If you increase the molecules, or go from a gas to a liquid or vice versa, entropy increases.
What has the reactions would have an increase in entropy?
entropy is a measure of disorder entropy increases for example from solid --> liquid or liquid --> gas or solid --> gas or liquid --> aqueous when the particles become more "free" and there are more spaces between them that means that the entropy has increased
How do you predict delta s?
delta s (change in entropy) is positive when.... -you go from a solid to a liquid -you go from a liquid to a gas -when you go from a solid to a gas -when there are more mols of products than mols of reactant the change in entropy is negative when the reverse of the above happens
Why a gas would have higher entropy than a liquid?
Gas molecules have fewer constraints on their location, than liquid molecules. Molecules in a liquid have to remain in contact with the other molecules of the liquid, and are limited to a specific volume. Gas molecules can go anywhere, they are not connected to anything. So with more possible locations, gas molecules represent a state of higher entropy or disorder.
The tendency of nature to go toward a state of disorder is called?
It is called entropy, the second law of thermodynamics.Horse Isle Answer: entropy
Why is entropy irreversible?
It's not that entropy can't be reversed, it's that the entropy of the universe is always increasing. That means that while you can reduce the entropy of something, the entropy of another thing must go up even more so that in total, the entropy goes up.
What are 3 ways to increase entropy?
1) you increased the number of moles of gas 2) you increased the number of atoms or molecules 3) you go from solid to liquid, or liquid to gas really if you see disorder, or kinetic energy, or particles, increasing, you can call that an increase in entropy.
Can entropy effect osmosis?
In a nutshell, yes. The water will go from a higher concentration to a lower concentration to increase the entropy of the lower concentration area. The increase in entropy of the lower concentration area would be greater than the loss of entropy of the higher concentration giving you a NET increase in total entropy.
What is the difference between gas heat and electric heat?
Go with the gas heat.
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.
How is entropy used to measure what happens when ice melts?
Entropy is a measure of disorder in a system. When ice melts, its molecules go from an ordered, crystalline structure to a more disordered, liquid state, increasing its entropy. The process of melting ice is an example of an increase in entropy as the system transitions to higher disorder.
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.
