How does the amount of entropy compare between the books on a library shelf and books in a pile in a library return bin?

Books in the return bin are in more disorder or disarray than the books organized on library shelves. An increase in disorder is an increase in entropy.

The amount of useable energy decreases when?
The quality of energy decreases when you use it due to the second law of thermodynamics. Essentially, the energy spent from various reactions is processed, which reduces the amount of work needed to extract it.
What can be used to compare the amount of radioactivity labeled DNA in two or more samples?
Scintillation counter
Amount of friction depend on two thing?
The amount of friction between two surfaces depends on more than two things. It could depend on many things like The shared surafce area The amount of force between the objects How rough or somooth the surfaces are The presence of a lubricant or glue Ball bearings Even temperature. Many things affect the amount of friction between things

What does the entropy of a reaction describe?
The amount of randomness in the system
Entropy is the amount of heat a system releases?
False
What is the physicists term for a measure of amount of disorder?
Entropy
Is the amount of disorder or useless energy in a system?
Entropy
What is meant by entropy?
Entropy is a measure of the amount of disorder a system has. More accurately the amount of work that can be extracted from a system. The more entropy a system has the less work that can be done. 1kg of steam at 500 degrees can do lots more work than a kilo of warm water. Entropy always increases in a closed system. Entropy is why everything eventually breaks down.
What is randomness or chaos in chemistry?
The amount of disorder/randomness of a system is called the entropy of the system.
Why does entropy do?
A physical quantity that is the measurement of the amount of disorder in a system.
