Does the energy of a system tend to increase, decrease, or remain unchanged as two atoms form a covalent bond?
When baking soda is mixed with vinegar, it bubbles vigorously and the material gets cold to the touch. What happens to the entropy of the universe as the products are formed? A. The total entropy stays the same. B. Thermal energy is converted into electromagnetic energy resulting in a decrease in total entropy. C. Chemical bonds are formed resulting in a decrease in total entropy. D. Chemical potential energy is converted into kinetic energy resulting in a decrease in entropy. E. Large molecules are broken into smaller pieces resulting in an increase in entropy.
