2. Under what circumstance can the entropy of a system decrease for a spontaneous process?
Does the entropy of the surroundings increase for spontaneous processes?
Spontaneous When entropy is positive and enthalpy is negative, a process is spontaneous. This means the reaction proceeds on its own under standard conditions, giving off energy as the reaction proceeds. Spontaneous at High Temperatures When entropy is positive and enthalpy is positive, a process is spontaneous at high temperatures because the products in the system are able to use thermal energy from the surroundings in order to react. Thermal energy increases the kinetic energy of the molecules. An example of this is ice melting. Ice will not melt if the temperature is not high enough. Spontaneous at Low Temperatures When entropy is negative and enthalpy is negative, a process is spontaneous at low temperatures. This type of reaction will release energy into the surroundings, and the ability to release this heat is important. If the temperature of the surrounding system is too high, the reactants have to overcome this energy in order to react and release their own heat energy. An…
Explain how it's possible for a chemical reaction to have a negative entropy change value if the entropy of the universe is always increasing.
Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding entropy? a. The entropy of the universe decreases after the occurrence of a spontaneous change. b. The entropy of any substance at temperatures above absolute zero is positive. c. The entropy is zero for a pure, perfect crystal at 0 °C. d.It is possible to determine the standard molar entropy of substances due to the second law of thermodynamics.
Which of the following statements is false? a. Entropies of ionic solids that have similar formulas are larger when the attractions among the ions are stronger. b. Entropy usually decreases when a gas is dissolved in a liquid. c. Entropy usually increases when a pure liquid or solid dissolves in a solvent. d. Entropies of more complex molecules are larger than those of simpler molecules. e. Entropies of gases are usually much larger that those of liquids, which in turn are usually larger than those of solids.
According to the second law of thermodynamics for any spontaneous process, the entropy of the universe (increases, decreases, or remains constant)
Not all processes in which the system increases in entropy are spontaneous. How can this observation be consistent with the second law? Provide an example and explain your answer in complete sentences.
