Order tends to disorder' comment on the statement. How do you justify it?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We know that energy of gasoline is organized and usable. When gasoline burns in an automobile engine, part of total energy is converted into mechanical energy, another part heats the engine and surroundings, and some part of energy goes out the exhaust. Thus some of the useful energy degenarates to non-useful forms and is no longer available for doing useful work (such as driving another vehicle). Thus the statement `order tends to disorder` is true.
Let us imagine an orderly stream of molecules injected into a closed empty bottle. The injected molecules moving in harmon make up an orderly state. Soon teh molecules start moving randomly, collide mutually resulting in their hapenzard motio. When we remove the lid of the bottle, the gas moleculas escape into the room becoming even more disordered.
We cannot expect the gas molucules to go back into the bottle on their own and return to more ordered contianment. However , air can be ordered into a small region by using a compressor, i.e., energy has to be spent or some work has to be done to restore the order.
Hence, we conclude that natural systems tends to proceed towards a state of greater disorder, i.e., the tendency of he universe and all that is in it is from order to disorder.
