What is another name entropy?
Molecular Disorder
Another name for the disorder in the universe is?
Entropy
What is another name for the second law of motion?
entropy F=ma
Is there anyway to decrease the entropy?
Only by increasing the entropy of another system.
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 is name for chaos in physics?
Entropy.
Can you decrease the entropy if yes then how and if not then why?
You cannot reduce entropy because entropy increases (Second Law of Thermodynamics), if you could, we could have perpetual motion. When work is achieved energy is lost to heat. The only way to decrease the entropy of a system is to increase the entropy of another system.
What is the scientific measure of disorder is called?
This is called entropy.
Does life go against the law of entropy?
No, not really, if locally there is a decrease in entropy, there has to be an increase somewhere else in the universe. Another issue is that from the point of view of entropy life is very unlikely to be. In my opinion is materialistic evolution impossible.
What is true about entropy?
Entropy is not change. Entropy is disorder.
What does wasted energy add too?
Wasted energy will increase the amount of useless, or unusable, energy, and reduce the amount of usable energy in the Universe. The wasted energy is related to entropy - one way to express the Second Law of Thermodynamics is to say that there are irreversible processes (in terms of energy), another is that "entropy increases". However, entropy is not energy; it is not measured in Joule, but in Joule/Kelvin. In any case, you might say that when energy is wasted, entropy increases.Wasted energy will increase the amount of useless, or unusable, energy, and reduce the amount of usable energy in the Universe.

What happens when to the entropy when a solution is made?
The entropy increases.
