The second law of thermodynamics says that "the entropy of the Universe is increasing", what is the best interpretation of this statement? The Universe is getting increasingly larger, which increases entropy O When entropy decreases there is always another larger increase in entropy somewhere else The Universe is cooling

Explain each of the Laws of Thermodynamics and to which law would Entropy and Enthalpy apply. Thank you!
How do enthalpy and entropy relate to each other? If enthalpy is negative, does that mean that entropy will be positive
All spontaneous changes cause an increase in the entropy of the universe. True False
If this has a negative value for a process, then the process occurs spontaneously. A. Free energy change (ΔG) B. Entropy change (ΔS) C. Enthalpy change (ΔH) D. Heat of vaporization
8 As you dissolve salt in water, what change would you expect to occur? A B C D The entropy of the system will increase. The kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases. The salt consumes energy as it transfers entropy The water molecules become more closely packed as the temperature increases
Read the descriptions of physical or chemical changes in the table below. Then decide whether the change will be spontaneous, if you can. Change A gas condenses to a liquid, neither absorbing nor releasing heat. An exothermic chemical reaction between a solid and a liquid results in gaseous products. Two liquids mix, neither absorbing nor releasing heat. Is this change spontaneous? Yes. No. Can't decide with information given. ○ Yes. ○ No. Can't decide with information given. Yes. No. ○ Can't decide with information given.
