Question

How does temperature affect ΔS_surr for the same heat release?
Options
A Higher temperature makes ΔS_surr larger
B Higher temperature makes ΔS_surr smaller
Correct Answer
C Temperature has no effect on ΔS_surr
D ΔS_surr is independent of temperature
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

If T is high, ΔS_surr is small, and system's entropy ΔS_sys dominates. If T is low, ΔS_surr is large, and exothermicity strongly drives spontaneity.

Hint

The notes explain this relationship.
