| Notes on Entropy & Gibbs Energy (657 words) |
 | Entropy, unlike energy, need not be conserved--entropy increases when a natural process occurs. |
 | Molar entropies of gases & solutions depends on concentrations--due to change in positional disorder. |
 | Generally, the more atoms of a given type there are in a molecule, the greater the capacity of the molecule to take up energy and thus the greater the entropy. |
