Question

Which process is accompanied by a decrease in entropy for the system?

a) the thawing of the frozen orange juice concentrate which was left in the car

b) the absorption of odorous gaseous compounds by the charcoal filter in your home central air cleaning unit

c) the breaking of large rock into very many smaller pieces of crushed gravel

d) the mixing of one liter of water with one liter of ethylene glycol to produce one liter of solution

e) the spontaneous chemical reaction of TNT (a solid chemical compound) where in it decomposes into several simple compounds, some of which are gaseous

Explanation / Answer

answer : b) the absorption of odorous gaseous compounds by the charcoal filter in your home central air cleaning unit

explanation:

absorption gas by chalcoal means gas randomness decreases. so entrophy decreases.

remaining options are not correct

a) the thawing of the frozen orange juice concentrate which was left in the car---------> it is diluted entropy decreases

c) the breaking of large rock into very many smaller pieces of crushed gravel-----------> small piece randomness more entropy more

d) the mixing of one liter of water with one liter of ethylene glycol to produce one liter of solution-------> mixing solution leads to increase entropy

e) the spontaneous chemical reaction of TNT (a solid chemical compound) where in it decomposes into several simple compounds, some of which are gaseous -------------> for the spontaneous process entropy increases
