Use the appropriate symbol to represent a non-spontaneous process (>, <, =) ∆G ________________ 0 ∆E ________________ 0 K _________________ 1 ∆Suniv _____________ 0
According to the second law of thermodynamics for any spontaneous process, the entropy of the universe (increases, decreases, or remains constant)
choose the right options -When a solid dissolves in a liquid, entropy usually (increases or decreases?) So the value for ΔΔS is (positive or negative?) Remember that negative values of ΔΔG are favorable, and ΔΔG = ΔΔH - TΔΔS. Consequently, solids are usually more soluble at (higher or lower?) temperatures. When a gas dissolves in a liquid, entropy usually (increases or decreases), so the value for ΔΔS is (negative or postive) Remember that negative values of ΔΔG are favorable, and ΔΔG = ΔΔH - TΔΔS. Consequently, gases are usually more soluble at (lower or higher) temperatures.
if the enthalpy change is negative and the entropy change is positive this reaction would be a) spontaneous at all temperatures b) spontaneous at high temperatures only c) nonspontaneous at all temperatures d) spontaneous at low temperatures only

Determine which of the following has the highest entropy: He(g) Ne(g) Ar(g) Kr(g)
A certain reaction has negative values for both AH and AS. Therefore, the reaction cannot be spontaneous at any temperature. must be spontaneous at all temperatures. can be spontaneous if the temperature is high enough. Ohas a positive free energy at any temperature. can be spontaneous if the temperature is low enough.
For each of the following statements, indicate whether it is true or false. Why ? a) A spontaneous reaction always releases heat. b) A spontaneous reaction is always a fast reaction. c) The entropy of a system always increases for a spontaneous change. d) The entropy of a system and its surrounding always increases for a spontaneous change. e) The energy of a system always increases for a spontaneous change.
