Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If the temperature of a system is increased, what happens to its entropy?
  • Step 1: Understand what temperature means. Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is.
  • Step 2: Know that everything is made of tiny particles that are always moving.
  • Step 3: When the temperature increases, these particles move faster because they have more energy.
  • Step 4: Faster-moving particles create more disorder in the system.
  • Step 5: Entropy is a measure of disorder in a system.
  • Step 6: Since the disorder increases when the particles move faster, the entropy of the system also increases.
