AP Chemistry
Unit 9 – Applications of Thermodynamics
Topic 9.1
Which of the following describes the relationship between volume and entropy?
Increased volume decreases the positional probability of gaseous molecules, so entropy increases
Entropy increases if there is more free space for matter to disperse, so increased volume increases entropy
Entropy decreases if there is more dispersion of matter, so a larger volume would decrease entropy.
Solids experience more dispersion of energy in a larger volume, so entropy increases
