Which thermodynamic law has to do with entropy?

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.


Can entropy decrease during a process?

in general entropy will not decrease in a spontaneous process since spontaneous process are all irreversible ones. entropy can be reversed only through an reversible process by an ideal engine but it is impossible to create such an engine by violating second law of thermodynamics. hence entropy cannot be decreased practically


When does an irreversible process occurs?

An irreversible process occurs whenever there is an increase in entropy. Entropy can be thought of as a measure of "wasted" energy, that is, energy that cannot be converted to useful work. Therefore any process which results in an increase in entropy wastes some portion of energy that cannot be recovered, and so the process is irreversible.


Process where entropy remains the same?

It is a reversible reaction


Is Entrophy change in a system that undergoes a spontaneous process positive negative or zero?

Negative entropy is a process or chemical reaction proceeds spontaneously in the forward direction.Positive entropy is a process proceeds spontaneously in reverse.


What statement best describes the second law of thermodynamics?

The entropy of the universe is increasing


Why can't entropy be destroyed?

The reason that entropy increases is related to statistics. It is possible in theory that a process occurs in such a way that entropy decreases, but this is so unlikely that it will never happen in practice.


What happens to the entropy in the reaction?

Entropy increases. In a reaction comprised of sub-reactions, some sub-reactions may show a decrease in entropy but the entire reaction will show an increase of entropy. As an example, the formation of sugar molecules by living organisms is a process that shows decrease in entropy at the expense of the loss of entropy by the sun.


Which element of the scientific process cannot be changed?

Increase in entropy.


What do natural process tend to increase?

entropy of thermodynamic systems


What is an isoentropic process?

An isoentropic process is a chemical or thermodynamic process in which entropy does not change. An example a reversible adiabatic process is isoentropic.


If a reversible process requires 3.6 kJ to take place at 24 Celsius what is the entropy change due to this process?

Entropy for a reversible process is q/T 3600 J ÷ (273 + 24) = 12.12 J/K
