Question 2 • 25-26 CHEMISTRY IN THE EARTH SYSTEM S1
A system’s entropy can decrease when energy is supplied to it, as when a refrigerator uses electrical energy to move heat out of its interior. The energy is not destroyed or created; it is transferred, and the total entropy of the universe still increases overall. Thus, “Energy must be added to decrease entropy” is the best choice.
