  3. Pressure
  4. Nature of the substance

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following factors does NOT affect the entropy of a system?
  • Step 1: Understand what entropy is. Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness in a system.
  • Step 2: Identify the factors that can affect entropy. These include temperature, volume, and the nature of the substance.
  • Step 3: Recognize that temperature affects how much energy particles have, which influences disorder.
  • Step 4: Understand that volume affects how much space the particles can move around in, impacting disorder.
  • Step 5: Know that the nature of the substance (like whether it's a gas, liquid, or solid) affects how ordered or disordered it is.
  • Step 6: Now, consider pressure. While it can influence other factors, it does not directly change the entropy of a system significantly.
  • Step 7: Conclude that among the options given, pressure is the factor that does NOT affect the entropy of a system.
