Entropy is a measure of disorder. Explain.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Entropy**: - Entropy is defined as a measure of disorder or randomness in a system. It is denoted by the symbol \( S \). 2. **Relationship Between Disorder and Entropy**: - The greater the disorder or randomness in a system, the higher the entropy. Conversely, a system with less disorder has lower entropy. ...

Which of the following statement is incorrect. (i) Entropy is measure of disorder. (ii) Entropy is not a state function. (iii) Entropy is expressed in the units of J/K/mol. (iv) The spontaneous process always accompanies the decrease in free energy.

Assertion : Heat added to a system at lower temperature causes greater randomness than when the same quantity of heat is added to it at higher temperature. Reason : Entropy is a measure of the degree of randomness or disorder in the system.

Entropy ( S ) is a thermodynamic variable like pressure P , volume V and temperature T . Entropy of a thermodynamic system is a measure of disorder of molecular motion. Greater is disorder , greater is entropy. Change in entropy of a thermodynamic system is the ratio of heat supplied to absolute temperature.In an adiabatic reversible process, entropy remains constant while in any irreversible process entropy increases. In nature the processes are irreversible , therefore entropy of universe is continuoulsy increasing. When milk is heated , its entropy :
