Probability favors disorganization or randomness, also known as entropy. In nature, high entropy is favored, yet many things that occur naturally are quite organized. This is because nature also favors low potential energy or enthalpy. Entropy and enthalpy sometimes conflict with each other. Consider steam and snowflakes, both arrangements of water. Steam has very high entropy. The particles are spread out randomly. Snowflakes have low entropy. The particles are arranged in repeating geometric patterns.

The products have higher entropy than the reactants explain why 2C2H6 (g) + 7O2 (g) —> 4CO2 (g) + 6H2O (g)
A Fine Mess
No matter how careful you are, your room always becomes messy. It's not
surprising. There are very few arrangements of all your things that are to last a lifetime! everything could organize
organized. There are thousands of arrangements that are disorganized.
Probability favors disorganization or randomness, also known as entropy.
In nature, high entropy is favored, yet many things that occur naturally are
quite organized. This is because nature also favors low potential energy or
enthalpy. Entropy and enthalpy sometimes conflict with each other.
Consider steam and snowflakes, both arrangements of water. Steam has very
high entropy. The particles are spread out randomly. Snowflakes have low
entropy. The particles are arranged in repeating geometric patterns. In order
to spread the particles out, as in steam, it is necessary to overcome the
hydrogen bonds that hold water molecules together. This requires a lot of
energy. As a result, water has a high boiling point. Snowflakes, therefore, have low enthalpy, while steam has high
enthalpy.
