This is an educated guess (i have never come across the analogy of an egg). Entropy is a measure of the disorder of a system. An egg shell contains the egg. When cracked, the egg is free to run out of the enclosed system, and it is unpredictable as to where the egg will go, thus it has become less ordered. It could also be less ordered as air can interact more freely with the egg, thus potentially spoiling it more freely than when it had its protective casing.
What else can I help you with?
Does diffusion increase the entropy of a solution?
Yes. Diffusion will increase the entropy.
What does the second law of thermodynamic say about entropy?
The entropy of the universe is increasing
What reaction would have an increased entropy?
At high temperature the entropy increase.
Did the snows entropy increase or decrease while in your hand?
Increase. The heat from your hand will melt the snow causing it to go from a low entropy solid state to a higher entropy liquid state.
What makes Entropy increase in reactants?
Total entropy ALWAYS increases; not just in reactants. The details are a bit complicated, but roughly, the increase in entropy is a result of the laws of statistics.
Does hydrolysis involve an increase in entropy?
Yes, hydrolysis typically involves breaking chemical bonds, which can lead to an increase in entropy due to the dispersal of energy. This increase in entropy occurs as the reactants transform into multiple products, creating a state of higher disorder in the system.
How is a boiled egg in a higher state of disorder than an unboiled egg?
Boiled egg is due to absorption of heat and heat supplied to a system always results in increase in ''Entropy'' Increased Entropy means greater disorder.
What reaction would have an increase in entropy?
At high temperature the entropy increase.
Does diffusion increase the entropy of a solution?
Yes. Diffusion will increase the entropy.
Which is not apt to increase entropy?
A perfectly ordered crystal at absolute zero is not apt to increase entropy, as entropy tends to increase with higher temperatures and disorder.
What does the second law of thermodynamic say about entropy?
The entropy of the universe is increasing
Does the hydrophobic effect contribute to an increase in entropy?
Yes, the hydrophobic effect contributes to an increase in entropy.
What reaction would have an increased entropy?
At high temperature the entropy increase.
Did the snows entropy increase or decrease while in your hand?
Increase. The heat from your hand will melt the snow causing it to go from a low entropy solid state to a higher entropy liquid state.
What makes Entropy increase in reactants?
Total entropy ALWAYS increases; not just in reactants. The details are a bit complicated, but roughly, the increase in entropy is a result of the laws of statistics.
Will the entropy of boiled egg increases or decreases?
As temperature increases, entropy increases. So a boiling egg has already absorbed a pretty good amount ofhigh temperature due to which it's entropy increases.
What happens to entropy when energy is transformed?
When energy is transformed, entropy can either increase or decrease. For example, in many energy transformations, such as combustion or chemical reactions, entropy tends to increase due to the dispersal of energy. However, in some processes, such as certain phase changes, entropy can decrease.
