Question

Is entropy a function of time?


Open in App
Solution

  1. Entropy is a measure of disorder that impacts every part of our daily lives.
  2. Disorder worsens over time if left unchecked.
  3. Energy dissipates, and systems disintegrate into chaos. We consider something to be more entropic if it is more chaotic.
  4. Entropy is a measure of the amount of thermal energy per unit of temperature in a system that cannot be used for productive work.

Hence, entropy is not a function of time.
