Question

Suppose you have a box with red chairs and another with blue tables, both are made of smaller lego
bricks. You pour the content of both boxes into a larger box and shake the box. You notice that, in the
end:
1) Red and blue pieces became more evenly distributed throughout the box.
II) Many chairs and tables had pieces of them break off.
III) Sometimes, pieces stuck to each other forming all sorts of shapes, some containing both red and
blue pieces.
Are the changes described in items (I), (II) and (III), best compared to changes in entropy, enthalpy, or
both?
(1) Entropy only; (II) Entropy only; (III) Entropy only
(1) Entropy only; (II) Enthalpy only; (III) Entropy only
(1) Entropy only; (II) Both; (III) Both
(1) Both; (II) Both; (III) Both
(1) Entropy only; (II) Enthalpy only; (III) Enthalpy only

Expert Solution

Step 1

Entropy : Entropy is simply a randomness. It is a measure of how much the atoms in a substance are free to move around in random ways. For instance, when a substance changes from a solid to a liquid, such as ice to water, the atoms in the substance get more freedom to move around.17

Enthalpy : Enthalpy is the measure of heat given to the system or removed from the system at a constant pressure.
