Definition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It was Introduced by the German Physicist Rudolf Clausius in 1850, and is a highlight of 19th<\/sup> century Physics. The word \u201centropy\u201d is originates from the Greek word, meaning \u201cturning\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the second law of thermodynamics states the total\u00a0entropy\u00a0<\/strong>of a closed system cannot decrease. However, within a system,\u00a0entropy\u00a0<\/strong>of one system can decrease by raising\u00a0entropy\u00a0<\/strong>of another system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, some scientists predict the\u00a0entropy\u00a0<\/strong>of the universe will increase to the point where the randomness creates a system incapable of useful work. In other words it was present to provide a quantitative measure for the spontaneous changes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entropy Introduction:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Clausius introduced the concept of as a precise way of expressing the Second Law of Thermodynamics,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, Clausius form of the second law states that spontaneous change for an irreversible process in an isolated system is a measure of randomness or irregularity or disorder of the system, the more or the randomness, higher is the entropy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solid state has the lowest or least, the gaseous state has the highest entropy and the liquid state lies between the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore , it is a function of state . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The change in Entropy value is its change of the process <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0394S = S2<\/sub> -S1<\/sub> = \u2211S products<\/sub> \u2013 \u2211S reactants <\/sub><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Additionally, Whenever a particular surrounding and also a system that shows heat absorption, The molecules begin to move faster beacuse of increase in kinetic energy . Disorder increases. Greater the heat absorbed, greater will be the disorder.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    2) For equal amount of heat absorbed at low temperature, The disorder shows more value at high temperature. This proves that the change is inversely proportional to temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u0394S = eve<\/sub> \/ T<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The change in Entropy in a process is the quantity of heat (q) absorbed isothermally and reversibly divided by absolute Temperature (T).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The concept is scientific and also shows physical properties that are generally associated with the randomness, uncertainity and state of order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
