Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following statements is true regarding the second law of thermodynamics?
  • Step 1: Understand what the second law of thermodynamics is about. It deals with energy and how it moves in a system.
  • Step 2: Learn about entropy. Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness in a system.
  • Step 3: Know that the second law states that in an isolated system, the total entropy can never decrease. This means that things tend to become more disordered over time.
  • Step 4: Realize that this law explains why processes like melting ice or mixing hot and cold water happen naturally.
