Entropy
Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness of a system (S).
- The higher entropy the more disorder
SSolid < SLiquid < SGas ΔS = Sproduct - Sreactants - Increase in entropy will be observed when:
- A larger molecule is broken into smaller molecular fragments during the reaction
- The moles of gas in the product will be increase during reaction.
- A solid changes to a liquid or gas or a liquid changes to a gas in a process.
