  1. It decreases
  2. It remains constant
  3. It increases
  4. It can either increase or decrease

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What happens to the entropy of an isolated system?
  • Step 1: Understand what an isolated system is. An isolated system does not exchange energy or matter with its surroundings.
  • Step 2: Learn about entropy. Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness in a system.
  • Step 3: Know the second law of thermodynamics. This law states that in an isolated system, the total entropy can never decrease.
  • Step 4: Realize that over time, the entropy of the isolated system will either increase or stay the same, but it will not decrease.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the entropy of an isolated system always increases, leading to more disorder.
