    Entropy Change (ΔS)

    The measure of disorder or randomness in a system. It's calculated by integrating the change in heat (dq) divided by temperature (T).

    Processes that can be reversed without leaving any changes to the surrounding environment.

    Entropy Change For Isolated System

    For reversible processes, the entropy change in an isolated system is zero. Irreversible processes will produce a positive entropy change.
