Which is an example of decreasing entropy in a closed system?

• Boiling water

• Freezing water

• Cells in a body coming together

• Ice melting

The picture shows two completely identical mason jars. They're both filled with the same gas, only one of them has more in it (more molecules). What can you say about the pressures of both jars?

• P₁ > P₂ (greater pressure in jar 1)

• P₁< P₂ (greater pressure in jar 2)

• P₁ = P₂ (same pressure in both)

• There's not enough info to tell

Rank the following samples from greatest kinetic energy of the molecules to least kinetic energy of the molecules:

• A > B > C > D
• B > A > C > D
• B > A > D > C
• D > C > B > A
