12. Entropy: Recalling concept facts and definitions

1. Entropy measures which of the followings about a chemical system?
1) Activation energy of the system

3) Energy change of the system

2) Intermolecular forces of the system 4) Disorder of the system

2. As a system becomes less random, its entropy
1) Decreases 2) Increases 3) Remains the same

3. As a chemical or physical system becomes more disorder, the entropy of the system
1) Increases 2) Decreases 3) Remains the same

4. As the temperature of a system increases, the entropy of the system
1) Remains the same
3) Increases

2) Decreases
