A negative change in entropy indicates that...

Vedmedyk [2.9K]3 years ago

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness present within the molecules of a substance.

When entropy of a reaction has a positive sign then it means there is an increase in the entropy. On the other hand, when entropy of a reaction has a negative sign then it means there is a decrease in entropy.

As, entropy change = entropy of products - entropy of reactants

And, larger is the value of entropy more will be the number of microstates.

When entropy is negative then entropy of products is less than the entropy of reactants.

This also means that products have small number of available energy microstates than reactants.

Thus, we can conclude that a negative change in entropy indicates that the products have a smaller number of available energy microstates than the reactants.

Andrews [41]

The chemical reaction involving sodium and oxygen as given in the reaction: 4Na + O2 → 2Na2O is a synthesis reaction.

<h3>What are chemical reactions?</h3>

Chemical reactions are changes which occur in the chemical composition of atoms of substances which results in the formation of new substances.

There are different types of chemical reactions such as:

  • synthesis reaction
  • displacement reaction
  • double displacement reactions

A synthesis reaction is a reaction in which two or more substances combine to form a new product.

Therefore, the chemical reaction involving sodium and oxygen as given in the reaction: 4Na + O2 → 2Na2O is a synthesis reaction.

What is arranged to form a material with a crystal structure
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

A crystal or crystalline solid is a solid material whose constituents (such as atoms, molecules, or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions. The scientific study of crystals and crystal formation is known as crystallography.
