Without doing any calculations, determine the sign of ΔSsysΔSsys for each of the following chemical reactions.
Drag the appropriate items to their respective bins.
Consider the bar chart showing the entropy of the system and the surroundings for the reaction A(g)→B(g)
Is the reaction spontaneous?
No, as ΔSuniv > 0, the reaction is nonspontaneous.
Yes, ΔSuniv > 0, and the reaction is spontaneous.
No, as ΔSuniv < 0, the reaction is nonspontaneous.
Yes, ΔSuniv < 0, and the reaction is spontaneous.
Does raising the temperature make the reaction more spontaneous or less spontaneous?
At the given temperature, the (a) in the change in entropy of the system (ΔSsys) is (b) by the large (c) in the change in entropy of the surroundings (ΔSsurr), resulting in a (d) ΔSuniv and a spontaneous process.
Does raising the temperature make the reaction more spontaneous or less spontaneous?
At higher temperatures, ΔSsurr is (a) than it is at lower temperatures, which means an increase in temperature corresponds to a(n) (b) in ΔSuniv.
Thus, raising the temperature makes the reaction (c) spontaneous.
