Unit 9 – Applications of Thermodynamics
Topic 9.1
Which of the following describes the relationship between volume and entropy?
Entropy decreases if there is more dispersion of matter, so a larger volume would decrease entropy.
Increased volume decreases the positional probability of gaseous molecules, so entropy increases
Solids experience more dispersion of energy in a larger volume, so entropy increases
Entropy increases if there is more free space for matter to disperse, so increased volume increases entropy
