Does the entropy (△s) increase or decrease in each of the following processes? the wind blows a pile of leaves all over the yard. as you are pumping gas into your car, gas fumes escape into the air. a. decreasing decreasing b. increasing decreasing c. decreasing increasing d. increasing increasing

what is the question here. i think you messed up.

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
