What is the effect of temperature on the entropy of a substance?
Correct Answer: Entropy increases with temperature.
- Step 1: Understand that temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is.
- Step 2: Know that substances are made of tiny particles that are always moving.
- Step 3: Realize that when temperature increases, the particles move faster because they have more energy.
- Step 4: Recognize that faster-moving particles can lead to more disorder in how they are arranged.
- Step 5: Understand that more disorder means higher entropy, which is a measure of randomness or chaos in a system.
- Step 6: Conclude that as temperature increases, the entropy of a substance also increases.
