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
Consider the two different systems, A and B, shown below. If there are 3 particles with a total energy of 12 J, which system would have more entropy and why? Question 21 options: System A has more entropy because it has greater separation between energy levels and hence more microstates than system B. System B has more entropy because it has more than two microstates, whereas System A only has two microstates possible. System A has more entropy because it has three microstates, whereas System B has less than three microstates possible. System B has more entropy because it has more than three microstates, whereas System A only has three microstates possible. System A has more entropy because it has more than one microstate, whereas System B only has one microstate possible.
1)spontaneous or non spontaneous 2) the change in Gibbs free energy is negative or the change in Gibbs free energy is positive 3)positive or negative
How does the molar entropy of a substance change with increasing temperature? The molar entropy of a substance increases with increasing temperatures. O The molar entropy of a substance decreases with increasing temperatures.
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.
Consider entropy and its role in determining if chemical and physical processes are spontaneous. For any process to be spontaneous, what must happen to the entropy of the universe during that process? Acetone will spontaneously vaporize when coming in contact with your skin even though acetone has a much higher boiling point. Explain how this occurs in light of your answer to part (a).
Consider samples of ice, water, and water vapor that all equal in mass. Which of the three samples will have the lowest entropy?
Compare what will happen to the entropy of the whole system in the following two scenarios: A) if the oil molecules are all clumped together and the clump is surrounded by water and B) if the oil molecules are spread out evenly throughout the water, each individual oil molecule surrounded by water?

Which of the following best describes this reaction A) The reaction is spontaneous and driven by favorable changes in the enthalpy and entropy. B) The reaction is not spontaneous because heat is absorbed. C) The reaction is not spontaneoius but could be spontaneous at a higher temperature. D) The reaction is spontaneous and driven by the favorable entropy change.
Which statement is true about the relationship between entropy and spontaneity? spontaneous reactions tend to lead to higher entropy entropy is the same as spontaneity as entropy increases, spontaneity decreases as entropy increases, spontaneity is unaffected
