What statement best describes the second law of thermodynamics?
The entropy of the universe is increasing
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.
What happens to entropy when energy is transformed?
There is always an increase in the entropy of the universe.
Which thermodynamic law has to do with entropy?
The second law of thermodynamics, generally stated, is that the entropy of an isolated system always increases in any natural process where change occurs. In a system at equilibrium, of course, the entropy remains constant.
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 a combustion have a negative entropy or positive entropy?
positive
Will this entropy change by positive or negative air is pumped into a tire?
entropy is decreasing, so negative
Is it possible for entropy to be negative and For entropy change to be negative and For entropy production to be negative?
Assuming you mean can entropy be reduced; the answer is yes. Only in an open system such as our planet. The universe is a closed systems. The entropy of the universe cannot be reduced. Chemical changes can reduced entropy in an open system. When gas turns into a liquid or when a liquid turns into a solid; entropy is reduced.
Will this entropy change by positive or negative?
negative
Can delta s be negative Entropy?
yes
Will this entropy change by positive or negative frost forms on a window pane?
Negative (A+) AG : )
Is polymerization endothermic or exothermic?
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
Is N½ g 3H½ g æ 2NH¾ g entropy positive or negative?
negative
Will this entropy change by positive or negative n2 g 3h2 g 2nh3 g?
negative
When water freezes should the change in entropy be positive or negative and explain?
Please be aware that the change will be neither positive or negative. You see when "water" freezes the entropy will not change due the tempertaure of the area around it meaning the entropy will stay neutral. You are very welcome young man
What does negative change in entropy indicate?
The system has become more ordered.
What does a negative change in entropy indicate?
