The following statements are true for entropy EXCEPT
entropy is the measure of molecular disorder
entropy is greater if matter is more dispersed
gases have more entropy than liquids of the same substance and temperature
lowering the temperature causes entropy to increase.

increases the entropy
When ammonium nitrate dissolves in water, the solution gets cold. Which is true?
Reaction is ENDOTHERMIC with positive ΔS
Reaction is ENDOTHERMIC with -ΔH

As I2(s) sublimes to I2(g), the entropy
increases: particles are less randomly arranged
increases: particles are more randomly arranged
decreases: particles are less randomly arranged
decreases: particles are more randomly arranged
