Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics
Study Guide Overview
This study guide covers entropy and the second law of thermodynamics. It explains entropy as a measure of disorder and energy dispersion, and the second law as the principle that total entropy never decreases in an isolated system. The guide differentiates between open and closed systems, discusses thermodynamic equilibrium, and provides practice questions with answers on these concepts.
