What happens to the entropy of a system when it undergoes a spontaneous process?
Correct Answer: Entropy increases
- Step 1: Understand what entropy is. Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness in a system.
- Step 2: Know what a spontaneous process is. A spontaneous process is a natural process that occurs without needing to be driven by an external force.
- Step 3: Recognize that in a spontaneous process, systems tend to move towards a state of higher disorder.
- Step 4: Conclude that as a system becomes more disordered during a spontaneous process, its entropy increases.
