(a)
Interpretation:
The sign of entropy change
Concept introduction:
Entropy:
Entropy is a measure of randomness (disorder). If the randomness of a system is increases then its entropy will increase.
The value of entropy increasing situations is given below:
- When a molecule is broken down and gives two or more smaller molecules.
- When the moles of gas is increases (by the breaking of molecules).
Solid changes to liquid or gas state or liquid state changes to gas state.

- Sodium reacts violently with water according to the equation Na(s) + H2O() NaOH(aq) + H2(g) Without doing calculations, predict the signs of rH and rS for the reaction. Verify your prediction with a calculation.arrow_forwardFor each of the following processes, identify the systemand the surroundings. Identify those processes that arespontaneous. For each spontaneous process, identify theconstraint that has been removed to enable the process to occur: Ammonium nitrate dissolves in water. Hydrogen and oxygen explode in a closed bomb. A rubber band is rapidly extended by a hangingweight. The gas in a chamber is slowly compressed by aweighted piston. A glass shatters on the floor.arrow_forwardThe molecular scale pictures below show snapshots of a strong acid at three different instants after it is added to water. Place the three pictures in the correct order so that they show the progress of the spontaneous process that takes place as the acid dissolves in the water.
