A container has a gas that consists of positively charged ions. The gas undergoes a free expansion in which there is no heat exchange with surrounding. Does the temperature of the gas increases or decreases? Why?

Why does the entropy of a solid increase on melting?

Assertion : During an adiabatic process, heat energy is not exchanged between system and its surroundings. Reason : The temperature of a gas increases when it undergoes andn adiabatic expansion.

Entropy ( S ) is a thermodynamic variable like pressure P , volume V and temperature T . Entropy of a thermodynamic system is a measure of disorder of molecular motion. Greater is disorder , greater is entropy.
