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.

Measure of the amount of energy in a thermodynamic system unavailable for doing work?
Entropy
What is exactly entropy and what is its main role in explaining the thermodynamic laws?
The thermodynamic entropy S, often simply called the entropy in the context of thermodynamics, is a measure of the amount of energy in a physical system that cannot be used to do work. It is also a measure of the disorder present in a system. The SI unit of entropy is JK-1 (Joule per Kelvin), which is the same unit as heat capacity
Does a change in entropy occur in purely mechanical motion?
Yes, changed in entropy refer to changed in mechanical motion. Entropy is a measure of the number of specific ways in which a thermodynamic system may be arranged, commonly understood as a measure of disorder.
How is thermodynamic probability related to entropy?
it entirely depend on what kind of a system you are working with. g is the probablity (number of accessible states) and k ln g is entropy and probablity is directly related to g
Is entropy closely related to the 1st law of thermodynamics?
It is related to the 2nd law of thermodynamics
What does the second law of thermodynamic say about entropy?
The entropy of the universe is increasing
What are some connections between 2nd law of thermodynamics and living things?
relationship between the thermodynamic quantity entropy
What are the thermodynamic property in four state?
entropy persists
What do natural process tend to increase?
entropy of thermodynamic systems
What is the law of entropy?
Entropy is the scientific concept of disorder and randomness that has many broad applications across different branches of physics. While it is not a law itself, it is central to understanding the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as objects that are in thermodynamic equilibrium are at their highest state of entropy.
What is special about the entropy in thermodynamic equilibrium compared to all statesof a system?
In thermal equilibrium, and only in thermal equilibrium, entropy is constant.

On which thermodynamic law a thermodynamics cycle based?
Thermodynamic cycle is based on 2nd law of thermodynamics.

Are the law of thermodynamic wrong?
no
