19
Q

Moles on the reactant are greater than the products, Entropy increases/decreases

A

decreases

20
Q

Moles of the products are greater than the reactants, Entropy increases/decreases

A

Increases

21

Is the phase change from solids->liquid->gas or is it gas->liquid->solids

A

solids->liquid->gas

22
Q

Does the entropy increase or decrease:
4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) -> 2Fe2O3 (s)
