thermodynamics?
« on: April 29, 2007, 08:41:45 AM »
In reguards to thermodynamics,
 
  The thermodynamic quantity that expresses the degree of disorder in a system is?
 
  A) enthalpy
  B) internal energy
  C) entropy
  D) heat flow

  I picked C (entropy) because my chem book discribed the disorder that It causes, Please let me know if this is correct!!!!!!!  Thanks !

it is correct. it is just a question of definition.
"Say you're in a [chemical] plant and there's a snake on the floor. What are you going to do? Call a consultant? Get a meeting together to talk about which color is the snake? Employees should do one thing: walk over there and you step on the friggin� snake." - Jean-Pierre Garnier, CEO of Glaxosmithkline, June 2006
