Which of the following statements is/are true? select all that apply. a. the entropy of the starting materials for a reaction is always greater than the entropy of the products. b. the entropy of the products of a reaction is always greater than the entropy of the starting materials. c. the amount of useable energy resulting from a reaction is always less than the total energy available in the starting materials. d. the energy of the starting materials for a reaction equals the sum of the product energies plus energy released as heat and disorder.

The entropy of the products of a reaction is always greater than the entropy of the starting materials

Explanation:

The second Law of Thermodynamics says that entropy always increases

A + B > AB

A and B that were completely arranged in their structures had to be completely messy to form compound AB

When an isolated system reaches a maximum entropy configuration, it can no longer undergo changes: it has reached equilibrium.

can you list the answers so i can answer

water at room temperature is flowing through a pipe with pressure taps located 10 ft apart along one section of the pipe, which are connected to a mercury (s=13.6) manometer.
