Question

Which law of thermodynamics defines entropy?


Open in App
Solution

  1. The second law of thermodynamics and entropy are connected.
  2. Entropy is a measurement of the system's disorders.
  3. The change in entropy of the system (dS) is defined as if a tiny amount of heat (dQ) is applied to a system at absolute temperature (T), dS=dQT
  4. Only reversible systems can achieve this. dQ is positive when the system absorbs the heat.
  5. Entropy has therefore increased as a result. (dQ) is negative when the system releases the heat, The system's entropy falls down.
