What happens to the entropy of a sample of matter when it changes state from a solid to a liquid?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sidana [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

  • <em>When a sample of matter changes state from a solid to a liquid, its entropy</em> <u>increases</u>.

Explanation:

The <em>entropy</em> is a thermodinamic variable that measures the disorder of radomness of a substance or system.

In the <em>solid </em>stated the particles (molecules, atoms or ions) are tightly packed, forming an organized structure. So, the particles barely can move, just vibrating around their fixed positions.

In the <em>liquid </em>state the particles are more free to move (that is why liquids flow and take the shape of the vessel in which they are contained).

Then, you can predict that <em>when a matter changes state from a solid to a liquid</em>, the parciles will gain motion leading to a higher disorder, which means that the entropy increases.

How would a bar magnet orient itself relative to this planet's magnetic field?
Maksim231197 [3]

The magnet's north pole would point to the Earth's south pole and the magnet's south pole would point to the Earth's north pole.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • There is a magnetic pole in the earth and the magnetic poles of the earth run using the equator and it has both the closures at the arctic pole and the Antarctic pole. The attractive positive field or the north pole is situated in the arctic zone and the south pole is situated in the Antarctic zone.  
  • The magnetic positive field or the north pole is situated in the arctic zone. Any magnet which is allowed to rotate whenever suspended on the outside of the earth will align itself with the magnetic field of the earth. That is the way the bar magnet orients itself comparative with this current planet's magnetic field.
