Question

Suppose that we add two moles of a gas to the left bulb and then open the valve. Which statement about this event is not correct?
The gas will likely expand to fill the entire volume of both bulbs. It would be extremely unlikely that all the gas will spontaneously return to the original bulb. Nature prefers disorder. Therefore, the gas also prefers disorder. When you open the valve, you decrease the entropy of the system because the molecules can experience a greater volume.
