Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the effect of increasing temperature on the entropy of a system?
  • Step 1: Understand what entropy is. Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness in a system.
  • Step 2: Recognize that temperature is a measure of how much energy the molecules in a system have.
  • Step 3: Realize that when the temperature increases, the energy of the molecules also increases.
  • Step 4: Acknowledge that with more energy, molecules move faster and more randomly.
  • Step 5: Conclude that as the molecular motion becomes more chaotic, the disorder in the system increases.
  • Step 6: Therefore, increasing temperature leads to an increase in the entropy of the system.
