Does entropy tend to increase or decrease in chemical reactions in which the total number of product molecules is greater than the total number of reactant molecules? ______________________
- A.
Entropy decreases
- B.
Entropy increases
- C.
Entropy stays the same
Correct Answer
B. Entropy increasesExplanation
In chemical reactions where the total number of product molecules is greater than the total number of reactant molecules, the entropy tends to increase. This is because the increase in the number of product molecules leads to a greater number of possible arrangements or microstates, resulting in a higher level of disorder or randomness in the system. As entropy is a measure of the system's disorder, an increase in the number of product molecules corresponds to an increase in entropy.Rate this question:

Entropy tends to ______________________ when temperature increases.
- A.
Increase
- B.
Decrease
- C.
Stay the same
Correct Answer
A. IncreaseExplanation
As temperature increases, the movement and energy of particles also increase. This leads to a greater number of possible arrangements or states that the particles can be in. Since entropy is a measure of the number of possible arrangements or states, it tends to increase when temperature increases. Therefore, the correct answer is "increase".Rate this question:

What determines whether a reaction is spontaneous?
- A.
The size and direction of heat (enthalpy) changes and entropy changes together determine whether a reaction is spontaneous.
- B.
The size and direction of moisture(enthalpy) changes and entropy changes together determine whether a reaction is spontaneous.
- C.
The size and amount of heat (enthalpy) changes and entropy changes together determine whether a reaction is spontaneous.
Correct Answer
A. The size and direction of heat (enthalpy) changes and entropy changes together determine whether a reaction is spontaneous.Explanation
The size and direction of heat (enthalpy) changes and entropy changes together determine whether a reaction is spontaneous. This means that the amount of heat released or absorbed during a reaction, as well as the change in disorder or randomness of the system, play a role in determining whether the reaction will occur spontaneously. If the enthalpy change is negative (heat is released) and the entropy change is positive (increase in disorder), the reaction is more likely to be spontaneous. Conversely, if the enthalpy change is positive (heat is absorbed) and the entropy change is negative (decrease in disorder), the reaction is less likely to be spontaneous.Rate this question:

Why is an exothermic reaction accompanied by an increase in entropy considered a spontaneous reaction?
- A.
Because both factors are favorable too many
- B.
Because both factors are not favorable
- C.
Because both factors are favorable
Correct Answer
C. Because both factors are favorableExplanation
An exothermic reaction releases energy to the surroundings, which is a favorable factor for a spontaneous reaction. Additionally, an increase in entropy indicates an increase in the randomness or disorder of the system, which is also a favorable factor for spontaneity. Therefore, when both factors, exothermicity and increase in entropy, are present in a reaction, it is considered spontaneous.Rate this question:

What is the equation used to calculate standard entropy change (triangleS exponent 0)?
- A.
ΔS0 =S exponent 1 (products) - S exponent -1 (reactants)
- B.
ΔS0 =S exponent 0 (products) - S exponent -0 (reactants)
- C.
ΔS0 =S exponent 0 (products) - S exponent 0 (reactants)
Correct Answer
C. ΔS0 =S exponent 0 (products) - S exponent 0 (reactants)Explanation
The equation used to calculate standard entropy change (triangleS exponent 0) is ΔS0 =S exponent 0 (products) - S exponent 0 (reactants). This equation represents the difference in standard entropy between the products and reactants of a chemical reaction. The standard entropy of a substance is a measure of the disorder or randomness of its particles, and the change in standard entropy reflects the change in disorder during the reaction. By subtracting the standard entropy of the reactants from the standard entropy of the products, we can determine the overall change in entropy for the reaction.Rate this question:
