Directions: Predict whether the entropy level increases or decreases in each process and explain its microstate behavior. Processes Entropy Change Explanation 1. Condensing water 2. Mixing acidic acid and water 3, Forming 2H20() from 2H2 () and Oz (g) 4. Producing NO2 from N204 5. Crystallization
1) Entropy change in condensation of water is NEGATIVE
2) Entropy change in mixing acidi and water is POSITIVE
3) Entropy change is NEGATIVE in formation of 2H2O(l) from 2H2(g) and O2(g)
4) Entropy change is POSITIVE in production of NO2 from N2O4
5) Entropy change is NEGATIVE in Crystallization process
Step-by-step explanation
Entropy is the thermodynamic property denoted by "S".
Degree of randomness or disorderness in a system is known as Entropy
1) condensation is a process of conversion of water vapour into liquid.
Water vapour has maximum randomness it can move all possible direction, but when it convert into liquid it's randomness is decreas as water molecules is bonded by hydrogen bond in liquid phase.
2) When acid mixed in water then acid ionised and hence acid dissociate so number of atom is increase in water and increasing number of atom increased the randomness.
So entropy change will be positive
3) H2 and O2 is a gaseous molecules and the gaseous molecules has maximum randomness among all phase when these H2 and O2 gas combine and form H2O(l) thn the randomness of a system is decreased hence change in Entropy is Negative.
4) production of NO2 from N2O4 is required the heat energy to break N2O4 so after acquiring the heat the kinetic energy of the obtained molecule is increases so randomness is increases , hence the Change in Entropy is Positive.
5) When molecules or atoms Crystallizes then they get attained an ordered arrangement and hence randomness is decreas so change in Entropy is Negative
