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.

What can be said about an exothermic reaction with a negative entropy change?

An exothermic reaction with a negative entropy change indicates that the reaction releases heat to its surroundings and results in a decrease in disorder or randomness of the system.

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

Predict whether the changes in enthalpy entropy and free energy will be positive or negative for the freezing of water and explain your predictions How does temperature affect the spontaneity?

The changes in enthalpy, entropy, and free energy are negative for the freezing of water since energy is released as heat during the process. At lower temperatures, the freezing of water is more spontaneous as the negative change in enthalpy dominates over the positive change in entropy, making the overall change in free energy negative and leading to a spontaneous process.


Is Entrophy change in a system that undergoes a spontaneous process positive negative or zero?

Negative entropy is a process or chemical reaction proceeds spontaneously in the forward direction.Positive entropy is a process proceeds spontaneously in reverse.


What does a negative change in entropy indicate?

The system has become more ordered.
