In chemistry, we talk about entropy in terms of chemical reactions. Chemical reactions that result in an increase in entropy are thermodynamically favored, whereas those that result in a decrease in entropy are not. In this video, I teach you how to calculate change in entropy in a reaction.
When you calculate change in entropy, a positive change in entropy means entropy is increasing, and a negative change in entropy means entropy is decreasing. A positive change in entropy is thermodynamically favored.
How can you predict whether a react
