Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the relationship between entropy and temperature?
  • Step 1: Understand what entropy is. Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness in a system.
  • Step 2: Recognize that temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is, which relates to the energy of the molecules in a substance.
  • Step 3: Realize that as temperature increases, the energy of the molecules also increases.
  • Step 4: A higher energy means that molecules move more quickly and can spread out more, leading to more disorder.
  • Step 5: Therefore, as temperature goes up, the disorder (or entropy) of the system also tends to increase.
