Which represents a decrease in entropy?

• sublimation of CO₂

• boiling water

• condensation of steam on cold glass

• NaCl dissolving in water

The entropy will usually increase when

• a molecule is broken into two or more smaller molecules

• a reaction occurs that results in an increase in the number of moles of gas

• a solid changes to a liquid

• all of these

Which sample has the lowest entropy?

HINT - Look at the phase of each chemical....

• 1 mole of KNO₃(l)

• 1 mole of KNO₃(s)

• 1 mole of H₂O(l)

• 1 mole of H₂O(g)

Entropy is a measure of

• accuracy

• precision

• the disorder of a system

• the attraction of a nucleus for an electron

Entropy always increases when

• enthalpy decreases.
• temperature decreases.
• temperature increases.
• volume increases.
