For each of the processes, determine whether the entropy of the system is increasing or decreasing. a. A snowman melts on a spring day.
b. A document goes through a paper shredder.
c. A water bottle cools down in a refrigerator.
d. Silver tarnishes
e. Dissolved sugar precipitates out of water to form rock candy.

Explanation:

Entropy refers to the degree of disorderliness of a system.

a. A snowman melts on a spring day.

Entropy is increasing because there is a change in state of matter from solid to liquid. Liquid particles have more freedom f movement compared to solids.

b. A document goes through a paper shredder.

Entropy increases because random, disorganized bits of paper are left.

c. A water bottle cools down in a refrigerator.

Entropy  decreases because temperature is directly proportional to entropy.

d. Silver tarnishes

Entropy increases because random bits of the sliver particles are formed.

e. Dissolved sugar precipitates out of water to form rock candy.

Entropy decreases because the random dissolved sugar precipitates are ordered into a rock candy.
