Entropy measures disorder or randomness in a system. The second law of thermodynamics states that entropy in an isolated system always increases over time.
Formel
The calculator applies ΔS = Q_rev / T

Ofte stilte spørsmål
Can entropy decrease?
Not in isolated systems; local entropy can decrease only if overall system entropy increases elsewhere.
Why is entropy related to disorder?
Higher entropy states have more possible molecular arrangements; organized systems have fewer arrangements.
