Question

The second law of thermodynamics introduces the concept of ___________.

The correct answer is

Entropy

There are four laws of thermodynamics:

Zeroeth Law of Thermodynamics - If two thermodynamic systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third system, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other.

First Law of Thermodynamics - Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only change forms. In any process, the total energy of the universe remains constant.

The net heat supplied to the system for a thermodynamic cycle is equal to the net work done by the system.

δQ = ΔU + δW

Second Law of Thermodynamics - For any isolated system that is not in equilibrium, entropy tends to increase over time, and it reaches its maximum value at equilibrium.

ΔS = ΔQ/T

ΔStotal = ΔSsystem + ΔSsurroundings

The second law of thermodynamics introduces the concept of entropy.

Third Law of Thermodynamics - As the temperature approaches absolute zero, the entropy of a system approaches a stable minimum.

ΔST = 0K = 0
