Answer:

The net entropy change of the entire system is increasing during a real isothermal expansion.

Explanation:

The net entropy of a system is always zero for reversible process, and it is positive for irreversible  process. It is also important to notice that the net entropy is the change of total entropy, that means.

\Delta S_{Total} = \Delta S_{System} +\Delta S_{surroundings}

In a reversible isothermal process the total entropy change is 0, where the increase of entropy of the system has the same magnitude as the decrease of the entropy of the surroundings.

But in a real isothermal process the magnitude of the entropy lost by the surroundings is less than the magnitude of entropy gained by the system, thus we have irreversible process so the net entropy is always positive.

In case of a gas for example where we have isothermal expansion, the work done is by the gas, causing a heat loss by the surroundings. It is that temperature difference that will make the entropy lost by the surroundings less than the magnitude of entropy gained by the gas.

Which substance would have the highest melting point, based on electronegativity?
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

H₂O

Explanation:

Based electronegativity, water H₂O will have the higher melting point from the given choices. The binding force between hydrogen and oxygen is greater than for the others.

  • In group 6, oxygen has the highest electronegativity.
  • It pulls the shared electron closer in the bond.
  • The high electronegativity between hydrogen and oxygen causes the elevated melting point between the two species.
