#1
Front (Question)

What is entropy?

Back (Answer)

measure of DISPERSAL of ENERGY carried by chemicals in a SYSTEM.

#2
Front (Question)

The greater the spread of energy of a system, the _____ the entropy.

Back (Answer)

greater

#3
Front (Question)

The lesser the spread of energy of a system, the _____ the entropy.

Back (Answer)

lower

#4
Front (Question)

A high entropy system has _____ disorder.

Back (Answer)

high

#5
Front (Question)

A low entropy system has _____ disorder.

Back (Answer)

low

#6
Front (Question)

If a reaction has a positive change in entropy, the disorder of the products is _____ than the reactants.

Back (Answer)

greater

#7
Front (Question)

If a reaction has a negative change in entropy, the disorder of the products is _____ than the reactants.

Back (Answer)

less

#8
Front (Question)

Do endothermic reactions have a positive or negative entropy change?

Back (Answer)

negative. energy overall absorbed by particles, less dispersal of energy.

#9
Front (Question)

Do exothermic reactions have a positive or negative entropy change?

Back (Answer)

positive. energy overall released by particles, more dispersal of energy.

#10
Front (Question)

What factors affect entropy change?

Back (Answer)

enthalpy change (exothermic/endothermic) changes of state

#11
Front (Question)

The side of the reaction with _____ gaseous moles has a lower entropy.

Back (Answer)

less due to less dispersal of energy

#12
Front (Question)

How do you calculate entropy change?

Back (Answer)

entropy of products - entropy of reactants

#13
Front (Question)

Which state has the highest entropy?

Back (Answer)

gas

#14
Front (Question)

Which state has the lowest entropy?

Back (Answer)

solid

#15
Front (Question)

Which state has the lowest entropy?

Back (Answer)

solid

#16
Front (Question)

What is standard entropy?

Back (Answer)

entropy of 1 MOLE of a substance under STANDARD CONDITIONS
