For each system listed in the first column of the table below, decide (if possible) whether the change described in the second column will increase the entropy S of the system, decrease S, or leave S unchanged. If you don't have enough information to decide, check the "not enough information" button in the last column. System A few moles of helium (He) gas. A few grams of water vapor (H₂O). A few moles of nitrogen (N₂) gas. Change The helium expands from a volume of 7.0 L to a volume of 8.0 L while the temperature is held constant at -8.0 °C. The water condenses to a liquid at a constant temperature of -12.0 °C. The nitrogen is cooled from 77.0 °C to 10.0 °C and is also expanded from a volume of 5.0 L to a volume of 15.0 L.

What is entropy? Why is entropy important?
A key component in many chemical engineering designs is the separation of mixtures of chemicals. (a) What happens to the entropy of the system when a chemical mixture is separated? (b) Are designs for chemical separation more likely to rely on spontaneous or nonspontaneous processes?
How does the second law of thermodynamics explain a spontaneous change in a system that becomes more ordered when that process is exothermic?
Explain why the statement No process is 100 efficient is not the best statement of the second law of thermodynamics.
Define the following: a. spontaneous process b. entropy c. positional probability d. system e. surroundings f. universe
What is the second law of thermodynamics? For any process, there are four possible sign combinations for Ssys and Ssurr. Which sign combination(s) always give a spontaneous process? Which sign combination(s) always give a non-spontaneous process? Which sign combination(s) may or may not give a spontaneous process?
For one day, keep a log of all the activities you undertake that consume Gibbs free energy. Distinguish betweenGibbs free energy provided by nutrient metabolism andthat provided by other energy resources.
For each process, tell whether the entropy change of the system is positive or negative, (a) A glassblower heats glass (the system) to its softening temperature, (b) A teaspoon of sugar dissolves in a cup of coffee. (The system consists of both sugar and coffee.) (c) Calcium carbonate precipitates out of water in a cave to form stalactites and stalagmites. (Consider only the calcium carbonate to be the system.)
Explain why absolute entropies can be measured.
For each process, tell whether the entropy change of the system is positive or negative. Water vapor (the system) deposits as ice crystals on a cold windowpane.
