Question

To create a metal alloy, two or more different metals are melted and mixed together. Which of the following best explains why this is a favorable process based on entropy? Melting the metals requires heat, so the energy of the alloy increases. The melting points for the metals are different, and different melting points imply more randomness in the alloy. As we add new metallic elements, there's an increase in the number of ways of arranging the different types of atoms within the alloy. Entropy of the surroundings is increasing as a result of heating the alloy. The energy in the alloy can be distributed among the atoms in fewer ways when the metals are mixed.

Explanation / Answer

E. The energy in the alloy can be distributed among the atoms the atoms in fewer ways when the metals are mixed.

Two or more different melting point of metals are melted . They are more entropy because of more ramdom.

Formation of alloy order is increases . The entropy is decreases.so ally have less entropy.
