Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the unit of entropy?
  • Step 1: Understand that entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness in a system.
  • Step 2: Know that entropy is often related to energy and temperature.
  • Step 3: Recognize that the unit of energy is Joules (J).
  • Step 4: Understand that entropy is often measured per amount of substance, which is in moles (mol).
  • Step 5: Remember that temperature is measured in Kelvin (K).
  • Step 6: Combine these units to express entropy: Joules per mole per Kelvin (J/mol·K).
