As volume decreases, Entropy increases/decreases

18
Q

As pressure decreases, Entropy increases/decreases

19
Q

Moles on the reactant are greater than the products, Entropy increases/decreases

20
Q

Moles of the products are greater than the reactants, Entropy increases/decreases

21
Q

Is the phase change from solids->liquid->gas or is it gas->liquid->solids

A

solids->liquid->gas

22
Q

Does the entropy increase or decrease:
4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) -> 2Fe2O3 (s)

A

Decrease; Inaccurate phase change

If Enthalpy (H) is exothermic (-) and Entropy (S) is positive (+), the reaction will be
Always spontaneous
30
If Enthalpy (H) is endothermic (+) and Entropy is negative, the reaction will be
Always nonspontaneous
30
If Enthalpy (H) is endothermic (+) and Entropy (S) is (+), the reaction will be
Spontaneous at high temperatures and nonspontaneous at low temperatures
30
If Enthalpy (H) is exothermic (-) and Entropy (S) is negative (-), the reaction will be
Spontaneous at low temperatures and nonspontaneous at high temperatures
30
A given reaction is spontaneous at low temperatures and nonspontaneous at high temperatures. What can be said about enthalpy and entropy?
Enthalpy is - and entropy is -
