D) As entropy increases, the amount of free energy decreases.
E) As entropy increases, the amount of free energy increases.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As entropy (S) increases, the term TS increases, which means that for a constant enthalpy (H), the free energy (G) decreases according to the equation H = G + TS.
