An explanation that makes reference to the following points: (Yes because....) - Disorder / number of ways of distributing energy quanta decreases (1) - As number of molecules / moles / particles (of gas) decreases (1) Allow just "entropy decreases" Do not award just ' S^ system is negative' Allow 4 moles gives 2 moles / 4 molecules gives 2 molecules Do not award 2 molecules gives 1 molecule Allow TE on positive result in (a)(i), but must state answer is unexpected. Ignore no changes of states If (a)(i) is positive and no statement about expectation is made max (1) Positive answer expected scores (0)
