Question

Give a quantitative understanding of entropy. Entropy may be thought of as the extent of randomness or disorder among the components of a system. The greater the disorder, the the entropy of the system. Entropy may also be viewed as the extent of distention of energy argon different nations of particles (such as atoms, molecules, or ions) of a system. Spontaneous processes are accompanied by an overall in the sum of the entropy of the system and the surroundings. Give a qualitative description of how different factors influence the charge in entropy of a system. The entropy of a system changes when there are changes in the following. (Select all that apply.) the volume the temperature the number of independent particles (such as atoms, molecules or ions) that are in motion in the system If the change results in an increase in the number of positions that the particles can occupy and an increase in their freedom of motion, the entropy of the system Conversely, if the particles are contrail in terms of their positions ax freedom of motion, the entropy of the system. Each set of portions and energies available to the particles in a system at a given instant is called a microstate. Thus, a change in entropy can also be correlated with changes in the number of microstates available to the system. For example if the volume of a gas is increased at constant temperature, or if a solid is converted to a liquid, the molecules (or other particles) in the system freedom of motion and a number of positions to occupy. As a result, the entropy of the system. Likewise, if a chemical reaction leads to an increase in the number of molecules (or other parties) in a system, the entropy of the system. Lower or higher Increases or Decreases volume, temp., number of independent particles that are in motion in the system Increases or Decreases Increases or Decreases Gain greater or lose some Larger or Smaller Increases or Decreases Increases or Decreases

Explanation / Answer

A. Greater the disorder higher the entropy.

B. Increases (as per second law of thermodynamics)

C. Select all . Because Entroly changes with change in

Volume(more volume more ways to distribution)

Temperature ( higher temp higher thermal energy and more wqys to distribute energy)

Increase in no of particles increases ways in which ptricles share energy

D. Increases (because increase in number of positions increase ways in which parties arranged)

E. Decrease ( constraining noof positions decreases entropy due to decrease in ways)

F. Gain greater (gases have higher entropy than solids)

G. Larger

H. Increases

I. Increases (no. Of molecules increased hence entropy increased)
