question 146

Multiple Choice

What happens to the entropy of a system as the components of the system are introduced to a larger number of possible arrangements, such as when liquid water transforms into water vapor?

• A)The entropy decreases because there are less ways in which the energy can disperse.
• B)The entropy increases because there are more ways in which the energy can disperse.
• C)The entropy of a system is independent of introducing the components of the system to a larger number of possible arrangements.
• D)The entropy of a system is solely dependent upon the amount of material undergoing reaction.
