A closed system is cooled reversibly from 100°C to 50°C. If no work is done on the system
its internal energy (U) decreases and its entropy (S) increases.
U and S both decreases
U decreases but S is constant.
U is constant but S decreases.

yes, U and S are functions of temperature.

No work is done,
Therefore deltaU = Q where Q < 0 (decreasing).
Cooling, therefore the molecules are less random, deltaS < 0 (decreasing).
