Question

Entropy is closely related to the
a. second law of thermodynamics.
b. first law of thermodynamics.
c. both of the above
d. none of the above

Answer 1

The answer is A. Second law of thermodynamics.

The second law of thermodynamics states that entropy must increase in order for irreversible thermodynamic processes to occur. In idealized processes, the entropy is constant. This follows the principle that entropy always increases due to the natural disorder and randomness of processes.
