Which of the following statements about entropy are true? Select ALL that apply.
|
If the entropy of a system decreases, the entropy of the surroundings must increase. |
||
|
Gases generally have a higher entropy than liquids. |
||
|
Entropy increases as the disorder of the system increases. |
||
|
The entropy of a system is directly proportional to the number of ways the system can be put together. |

Which of the following statements are true? Select ALL that apply.
|
One way to state the Second Law of Thermodynamics is to say that for a spontaneous process ΔSuniverse > 0 . |
||
|
If the change in entropy for the system is +10.0 J/(mol K), then the change in entropy for the surroundings must be −10.0 J/(mol K). |
