Factors affecting entropy
1)change in tempearature
-entrpy increases as temperature increases
2)change in number of gaseous particles
-entropy increases as the number of gaseous particles increases.
3)change in phase
-entropy increases as solid changes to liquid and to gaseous state.
4)mixing of particles
-entropy increases when two pure gases are mixed and allowed to diffuse into each other.
-entropy increases when a solid dissolves in a liquid.
