Question

Entropy increases _______. a. in single replacement reactions b. in synthesis reactions c. in analysis reactions d. in double replacement reactions

Answer 1

d. in double replacement reactions

Step-by-step explanation:

Entropy is a measure of the disorder or randomness in a system. In double replacement reactions, two compounds exchange ions to form two new compounds. This typically leads to an increase in the number of particles and arrangements of particles in the system, resulting in a greater degree of disorder. As a result, the entropy of the system increases in double replacement reactions.
