CHM 101 Chemical Thermodynamics Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

What factors cause entropy to increase?
Options
A Decrease in temperature, decrease in volume
B Constant temperature and pressure
C Increase in temperature, increase in volume, increase in number of independently moving molecules, and molecular complexity
Correct Answer
D Decrease in pressure, decrease in molecular complexity
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Entropy increases when temperature increases (more microstates), volume increases (more space to move), number of independently moving molecules increases, and molecular complexity increases (more vibrational and rotational modes).

Hint

The notes list these factors.
