Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What does a positive ΔS indicate about a system?
  • Step 1: Understand what ΔS means. ΔS represents the change in entropy, which is a measure of disorder or randomness in a system.
  • Step 2: Recognize that a positive ΔS means that the entropy has increased.
  • Step 3: Realize that an increase in entropy indicates that the system has become more disordered or random.
  • Step 4: Conclude that a positive ΔS shows that the particles in the system are more spread out or mixed up than before.
