Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The consequence of using the Celsius temperature scale in the calculation of entropy has to be stated.  The Celsius temperature scale in the calculation of entropy agree with the fact that the supply of thermal energy to a sample always result in an increase its entropy or not has to be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

The term entropy is used to represent the randomness in a system.  When a system moves from an ordered arrangement to a less order arrangement, then the entropy of the system increases.  The second law of thermodynamics state that “the entropy of the system either increases or remains the same.”
