Question

Part A

At the particle level, the ENTROPY of a SYSTEM can be defined in two particular ways: (1) RANDOMNESS OF POSITION: the extent of randomness of the positions of particles, and how far the particles can spread out in a volume. (More options of physical arrangement signify greater entropy.) Entropy increases with the number of particles (or moles of particles in a container o More independently moving particles correspond to more possible arrangements More microstates/greater disorder Entropy increases with the volume particles occupy o Intermolecular Attractions: The fewer intermolecular attractions, the greater the volume the occupy: s
