Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a closed system, if the temperature increases, what happens to the entropy?
  • Step 1: Understand what a closed system is. A closed system is one where no matter enters or leaves, but energy can be exchanged.
  • Step 2: Know what temperature is. Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is, related to the energy of the particles in a substance.
  • Step 3: Learn about entropy. Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness in a system. Higher entropy means more disorder.
  • Step 4: Recognize that when temperature increases, the energy of the particles in the system also increases.
  • Step 5: Realize that as particles gain energy, they move more rapidly and randomly, leading to more chaotic behavior.
  • Step 6: Conclude that this increased chaos or disorder results in an increase in entropy.
