Question: 204

2. Which of the following substances has the atom with the greatest oxidation state?

  • A. absorbed, internal energy decreases, and entropy decreases.
  • B. released, internal energy increases, and entropy decreases.
  • C. released, internal energy decreases, and entropy decreases.
  • D. released, internal energy decreases, and entropy increases.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

C As a substance undergoes deposition, it becomes a much more ordered substance, decreasing entropy (eliminate choice D). In addition, heat will be released (eliminate choice A) because the potential energy of the substance decreases (eliminate choice B).
