Entropy S, doesn't really have an "application". It is one of the fundamental state functions in thermodynamics, and ranks alongside, E, P, V, T
Traditionally termed a measure of disorder, a more understandable description is that it is a measure of how energy is spread over energy micro-states.

What is true about entropy?
Entropy is not change. Entropy is disorder.
Why is entropy irreversible?
It's not that entropy can't be reversed, it's that the entropy of the universe is always increasing. That means that while you can reduce the entropy of something, the entropy of another thing must go up even more so that in total, the entropy goes up.
What does the second law of thermodynamic say about entropy?
The entropy of the universe is increasing
Does entropy depend on its path?
No, entropy is a state function.
Does a combustion have a negative entropy or positive entropy?
positive
What is the scientific measure of disorder is called?
This is called entropy.
What is true about entropy?
Entropy is not change. Entropy is disorder.
What happens when to the entropy when a solution is made?
The entropy increases.
What is the measure of disorder and randomness?
Entropy is the measure of system randomness.
Which term describes the describes the disorder of random molecular motion?
entropy

Abut maxwell's thermsodynamic relation and its application?
Certain variables in thermodynamics are hard to measure experimentally such as entropy. Maxwell relations provide a way to exchange variables

No, entropy is a state function.
When will be entropy negative?
It won't. Entropy always increases.
Does a combustion have a negative entropy or positive entropy?
positive
What is entropy and which phase of matter has the the highest entropy?
Entropy is a measure of the disorder or randomness in a system. The phase of matter with the highest entropy is generally considered to be the gas phase, as the particles in a gas have the highest degree of freedom and randomness compared to liquids and solids.
