Heat death is a hypothetical situation in which there is no more usable energy in the Universe. In relation to entropy, it means that entropy is at its maximum - it can't increase any more.

What is a term for disorder or randomness in the universe?

The term you are looking for is "entropy." Entropy refers to the measure of disorder or randomness in a system.


How much energy to boil a hard boil egg?

Entropy is a thermodynamic term. Re the hard boiling of an egg: You are going to a more "ordered" state , i.e., positive entropy. However, entropy in this case is overwhelmed by the -∆H which is the negative heat provided by the proteins hydrogen bonding. Thus, the energy driving force is the important term and not the entropy in this case.

How does the 10 percent rule relate to the term entrophy?

The 10 percent rule, often associated with energy transfer in ecosystems, suggests that only about 10 percent of the energy from one trophic level is passed on to the next, while the rest is lost as heat, contributing to entropy. Entropy, in thermodynamic terms, refers to the measure of disorder or randomness in a system, and as energy is dissipated, the overall entropy of the ecosystem increases. This interplay illustrates how energy transformations lead to increased disorder, underscoring the inefficiencies of energy transfer within ecological systems. Thus, the 10 percent rule highlights the inevitable increase in entropy as energy flows through trophic levels.
