Which law of thermodynamics defines entropy?
Open in App
Solution
The second law of thermodynamics and entropy are connected.
Entropy is a measurement of the system's disorders.
The change in entropy of the system
(
d
S
)
is defined as if a tiny amount of heat
(
d
Q
)
is applied to a system at absolute temperature
(
T
)
,
d
S
=
d
Q
T
Only reversible systems can achieve this.
d
Q
is positive when the system absorbs the heat.
Entropy has therefore increased as a result.
(
d
Q
)
is negative when the system releases the heat, The system's entropy falls down.
