Q
Which process would result in an increase in entropy?
Compressing Nitrogen Gas at Constant Temperature
Condensation of steam into liquid water under standard conditions
Freezing water into ice under standard conditions
Evaporation of water into vapor under standard conditions
Considering a process where ice melts into water at atmospheric pressure without any change in temperature, how does this process affect the system's entropy?
It decreases because fusion absorbs heat from surroundings reducing thermal energy available for molecular motion.
It remains unchanged since there's no difference in total energy between ice and water molecules during melting point conditions.
It increases due to more disorderly molecular motion in liquid water compared to ice.
It decreases since converting a solid lattice structure into liquid introduces order into system initially present only within individual water molecules' vibrations.
Which statement best describes how Gibbs Free Energy relates to temperature and spontaneity under standard conditions (∆G°)?
Three, the sign of ∆G° is independent of temperature and solely depends on enthalpy and entropy values
One, a negative value of ∆G° indicates spontaneous reaction at all temperatures
Two, a zero value of ∆G° suggests equilibrium state regardless of temperature variations
Yet, a positive value of ∆G° indicates non-spontaneous reaction at high temperatures
When comparing the mixing of two gases at constant temperature and pressure with compressing a gas at constant temperature, which statement correctly describes the effect on system's total entropy?

What typically causes an increase in entropy when comparing a pure crystalline substance at absolute zero with that same substance above its melting point?
The recrystallization process below the melting point leads to greater disorder due to defects within the crystal lattice structure.
Particles have greater freedom of movement above the melting point than at absolute zero where they are fixed in place.
At absolute zero, there are more microstates accessible making the entropy lower than when the substance is melted.
Particles exhibit stronger intermolecular forces at absolute zero leading to higher order and decreased randomness compared to above melting points.
When a sample of argon gas at 1.00 atm and 298 K is allowed to expand freely into a vacuum, which statement about the entropy change (∆S) of the system is correct?
The entropy remains constant since there is no exchange of heat or work with the surroundings.
The entropy decreases due to a decrease in temperature associated with expansion into a vacuum.
The entropy increases due to an increase in pressure that occurs upon expanding into a larger volume.
The entropy increases because the gas molecules have more microstates available in the larger volume.
Which substance would exhibit the greatest increase in entropy upon melting?
Sodium chloride (NaCl) solution freezing because it goes from less ordered liquid state to a more ordered solid state.
Carbon dioxide subliming because its molecules go from solid directly into a gaseous state without becoming a liquid first.
Iodine crystals (I2), because solid to liquid transition leads to increased molecular motion and disorder.
Ethanol evaporating because it involves a phase change from liquid with some order to vapor with complete disorder.
