Is there anyway to decrease the entropy?

Only by increasing the entropy of another system.


Another name for the disorder in the universe is?

Entropy, which represents the measure of disorder in a system. It reflects the tendency of systems to move towards equilibrium and increased randomness over time.


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.


What is another name for riversible adiabatic process?

Another name for a reversible adiabatic process is an isentropic process. This type of process involves no heat exchange with the surroundings and is characterized by constant entropy.


What is another name for the second law of motion?

Another name for the second law of motion is the law of acceleration, as it describes how an object's acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied to it and inversely proportional to its mass.


What is the scientific measure of disorder is called?

This is called entropy.


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.

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 measure of disorder and randomness?

Entropy is the measure of system randomness.


How does the entropy change in the reaction 2c3h6g 9o2g 6co2g 6h2og?

The entropy change in a reaction can be calculated by comparing the entropy of the products to the entropy of the reactants. Without specific entropy values provided, it is difficult to determine the exact change. However, in general, the entropy change is positive in reactions where the products have higher entropy than the reactants, indicating an increase in disorder.
