CEM 141 Lecture 40: 12.07 (Chapter 5: Entropy)
Document Summary
Gas is the state with the highest entropy. This is due to the fact that it has no imfs so gas can take up the most positions . Ex. a shuffled deck of cards has more entropy than a deck of ordered cards. A cao (s) + co2 (g) has more entropy than caco3 (s) Warmer water (h2o at 50 c) has more entropy than colder water (h2o at. A hot block of metal has higher entropy than a cold block of metal. +e, highest entropy = the most possible arrangements. Energy will transfer from the hot block to the cold block. There are 10 total arrangements of energy quanta possible. One arrangement of energy quanta is shown. There are 84 possible arrangements of energy quanta possible. Imagine you bring the blocks in contact with each other. Energy will transfer until the two blocks are at the same temperature and have the same amount of energy qua.
