How does the entropy change in the reaction 2c3h6g 9o2g 6co2g 6h2og?

The entropy change in a reaction can be calculated by comparing the entropy of the products to the entropy of the reactants. Without specific entropy values provided, it is difficult to determine the exact change. However, in general, the entropy change is positive in reactions where the products have higher entropy than the reactants, indicating an increase in disorder.


What are the units of entropy and how do they relate to the measurement of disorder in a system?

The units of entropy are joules per kelvin (J/K). Entropy is a measure of disorder in a system, with higher entropy indicating greater disorder. The relationship between entropy and disorder is that as entropy increases, the disorder in a system also increases.


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.


Is entropy of water is higher than entropy of ice?

Yes, the entropy of water is higher than the entropy of ice because water is in a more disordered state compared to ice, which has a more ordered and structured arrangement of molecules. Entropy is a measure of disorder in a system, so the more disordered the state, the higher the entropy.


Is entropy path dependent in thermodynamics?

Is the motion of a body along a curved path translational?

No, the motion of a body along a curved path is not translational, as translational motion refers to straight-line motion. The motion of a body along a curved path involves a combination of translational and rotational motion due to changes in direction.

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.

entropy is the measure of randomness of particles higher is randomness higher is the entropy so solids have least entropy due to least randomness.
