What is the symbol for entropy?
H
G
S
E
Which represents a decrease in entropy?
sublimation of CO2
boiling water
condensation of steam on cold glass
NaCl dissolving in water
Which change has a negative entropy change of the system?
ice melting
salt dissolving
water heating up
none of these
Which of the following scenarios describes a process with a negative system entropy change?
Building a skyscraper
A clean room becomes cluttered
An igloo melting
Osmosis (I hope you know your Biology!)
Which of these have a DECREASE in system entropy?
CaCO3(s) → CaO(s) + CO2(g)
2NO2(g) → N2O4(g)
2NH3(g) → 3H2(g) + N2(g)
C6H6(l) → C6H6(g)
The entropy of the system 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
Ammonium nitrate dissolves in water. It is a spontaneous endothermic process because the system undergoes....
a decrease in enthalpy
an increase in entropy
an increase in enthalpy
a decrease in entropy
Which has a positive ΔSsystem?
AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) → AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)
H2O(g) + CO2(g) → H2CO3(aq)
H2(g) + I2(g) → 2Hl(g)
C2H2O2(g) → 2CO(g) + H2(g)
Systems in nature tend to undergo changes toward
lower enthalpy and less disorder
lower enthalpy and more disorder
higher enthalpy and less disorder
higher enthalpy and more disorder
Which sample has the lowest entropy?
1 mole of KNO3(l)
1 mole of KNO3(s)
1 mole of H2O(l)
1 mole of H2O(g)
Predict the entropy change and its spontaniety
ΔS = +ve and non spontaneous
ΔS = -ve and spontaneous
ΔS = -ve and non spontaneous
ΔS = +ve and spontaneous
What is a spontaneous process ?
slow process
fast process
process that needs an external intervention to occur
process that does not need external intervention to occur / keep happening
A reaction that releases energy is
Exothermic
Endothermic
Could be either
A reaction that absorbs energy is
Exothermic
Endothermic
Could be either
Spontaneous reactions are always fast.
True
False
Reactions are always spontaneous if they are exothermic.
True
False
