remember the sign convention for the equation
U = Q - W
a negative W-value would imply work is being done on the system which would increase the internal energy
zarkam21:
SO B

Q still needs to be negative for the system to lose energy (heat)

keep in mind latent heat of fusion has to do with the energy required to cause melting and the problem does not specify that the wood/water is undergoing fusion, just a temp change
what would cause water molecules to resist changes in temperature more than wood does?
zarkam21:
um either c or d then right
zarkam21:
C
Vocaloid:
good, and since water resists temperature change are the intermolecular forces stronger or weaker?
zarkam21:
stronger

well the endothermic part is right, this is just a matter of memorizing whether endo means energy is being absorbed or if its being released, any ideas/or guesses?

because we just went over entropy being scattered?
Vocaloid:
well you're on the right track but since they want the lowest entropy we would want to avoid the shuffle option because that creates disorder
honestly i'm stuck between playing a single song vs playing all the songs in alphabetical order because in both these scenarios there's only one way to play it
zarkam21:
well it says lowest entropy so maybe
zarkam21:
A

after some research/deliberation I am leaning more towards c because the single song system has 1 ordered state out of all states, whereas the alphabetical list has 1 ordered state out of many disordered states representing a higher level of order relative to all possibilities
