The entropy of the gas was too high. It means the degree of randomness in gas was very large.
A physical quantity that is the measurement of the amount of disorder in a system.
It won't. Entropy always increases.
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.
There is always an increase in the entropy of the universe.
The second law of thermodynamics, generally stated, is that the entropy of an isolated system always increases in any natural process where change occurs. In a system at equilibrium, of course, the entropy remains constant.
Psychic entropy is information that conflicts with existing intentions or that distracts people from carrying out intentions
A physical quantity that is the measurement of the amount of disorder in a system.
In physics and chemistry, entropy is defined as the 'unavailability' of a system's thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, or the conversion of energy into this unavailable state. Excess entropy means that there's much more energy being wasted in this manner.
Enthalpy is the amount of energy released or used when kept at a constant pressure. Entropy refers to the unavailable energy within a system, which is also a measure of the problems within the system.
This is called entropy.
A microscopic perspective, in statistical thermodynamics the entropy is a measure of the number of microscopic configurations that are capable of yielding the observed macroscopic description of the thermodynamic system:S=KBln Ωwhere Ω is the number of microscopic configurations, and KB is Boltzmann's constant. It can be shown that this definition of entropy, sometimes referred to as Boltzmann's postulate, reproduces all of the properties of the entropy of classical thermodynamics(shahbaz)
Entropy is not change. Entropy is disorder.
The entropy increases.
Entropy is the measure of system randomness.
entropy
It's not so much a matter of justifying it as recognizing that the function δq/T has been assigned the name "entropy" - specifically: dS = δq/T (by definition) The quantity δq/T was assigned a name because it is so useful in thermodyanmics for predicting direction of heat flow, efficiency of cycles, and natural (spontaneous) processes. The idea that entropy is a measure of disorder comes from the proof by by Ludwig Boltzmann in the 1870s who analyzed the statistical behavior of the microscopic components of system. Boltzmann showed that the statistical-mechanical definition of entropy was equivalent to the thermodynamic entropy to within a constant number which has since been known as Boltzmann's constant.
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.
