Re: Negative q
Heat (q) is negative when the amount of heat is being released/reaction is exothermic. The equation for entropy includes delta q, or the change in q; this is how q and entropy are related.

Re: Negative q
A negative q value stands for negative heat. This corresponds to vaporization and melting.

Re: Negative q
A negative q signifies that heat is being lost/released from the system into the surroundings.

Re: Negative q
A negative q signifies that the reaction is exothermic and that heat is being released with the reaction.

Re: Negative q
It is when energy is released from a system to an environment, meaning the reaction is going to be exothermic. Depending on the problem, it may make you calculate q, and that just means energy is released.
