- Explain how it's possible for a chemical reaction to have a negative entropy change value if the entropy of the universe is always increasing.arrow_forwardAll spontaneous changes cause an increase in the entropy of the universe. True Falsearrow_forward6. An ideal gas with Cv = 1.62 kJ/kg-K and R = 273J/kg-K expands from 0.15m3 (cubic meter) and 27 deg. C to 0.35 m3 (cubic meter) during an isobaric process with p = 150kPa. Consider the process reversible nonflow, determine:arrow_forward
- Endothermic reactions are more likely to be spontaneous. O True O Falsearrow_forwardWhich is true for the following reaction: N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) 2NH3(g) + heat for the reverse reaction, AH is negative. For the reverse reaction, AS is negative. Enthalpy favors the reactants. Entropy favors the reactants. Oarrow_forwardTRUE OR FALSE The spontaneous process proceeds on its own without any outside assistance.arrow_forward
- Which pure substance under standard conditions would have the highest entropy? O2 HCl CH3OH Sarrow_forwardRead the descriptions of physical or chemical changes in the table below. Then decide whether the change will be spontaneous, if you can. Change Two liquids mix, neither absorbing nor releasing heat. During an endothermic chemical reaction, a gas is consumed and a liquid produced. An endothermic chemical reaction between two liquids results in gaseous products. Is this change spontaneous? Yes. O No. O Can't decide with information given. Yes. O No. O Can't decide with information given. O Yes. O No. O Can't decide with information given.arrow_forward
