Question

Identify the following statements as true or false. (Use the drop-down menu and select "True" or "False" for each. You must get all 6 correct.)
True False  Both Ssys and Ssurr must equal zero at equilibrium.
True False  All systems become more disordered spontaneously.
True False  If a process decreases the randomness of the particles of a system, the entropy of the system increases.
True False  All spontaneous reactions occur quickly.
True False  All spontaneous processes release heat.
True False  The energy of the universe is constant; the entropy of the universe increases.

Explanation / Answer

True False  Both Ssys and Ssurr must equal zero at equilibrium. Since the important value of Universe is what matters
True False  All systems become more disordered spontaneously. Because of the second law of thermodynamics
True False  If a process decreases the randomness of the particles of a system, the entropy of the system increases. More order, less chaos, less entropy
True False  All spontaneous reactions occur quickly. Time does not relat with equilibrium
True False  All spontaneous processes release heat. There are also endothermic processes
True False  The energy of the universe is constant; the entropy of the universe increases. This are the foundations of thermodynamics
