Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The relationship between the second law of thermodynamics and entropy.
Answer to Problem 24A
The second law suggests that for every isolated system, the total entropy remains constant.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
According to the second law of thermodynamics, the total entropy of an isolated system remains constant.
Entropy is the state of molecule disorder, the randomness of a system. Every system remains to stay in equilibrium. When that equilibrium disturbs then, energy is released and the system goes in the state of disturbance that is entropy of the system increases. For every natural system, molecular collisions occur which increases the heat and entropy of the system even at a microscopic level.Thus, with the increasing collisions, the heat, or temperature of the natural system increases, increases the entropy of the system, violating the second law of thermodynamics.
