the opposite of entropy is?

Question

a. order
b. enthalpy
c. turnover number
d. activation energy

Answer 1

A.

Answer 2

G Entropy occurs when energy gradients are evened out. The opposite of entropy is, therefor, an energy gradient.

Answer 3

Perhaps none of the above. Consider the classic eqation:

Q=W+S, where Q=Total Energy, W=Energy for useful work.
S=Energy lost to the Sink(Universe), from which no useful work could be done. Therefore, opposite of Entropy is W= Energy which did some useful work.
In fact, in the conservation of energy, methods are used which converts some of the entropy in useful work, thereby increasing the conservation of energy.

Answer 4

A. Order.

I reviewed some information in my text book, because another answer made me start thinking, and this does make more sense. Since Entropy is the measure of disorder in a system (although this is also a refrence to energy disperesed) it's main objective is disorder so therefore its opposite is order.

Answer 5

A. Entropy is a measure of disORDER, so its opposite is ORDER.

B, D are wrong. I am not familiar with turnover number. In any case, in multiple tests, impertinent terms are usually included to check who are just guessing.

Answer 6

Order

The entropy is the measurement of disorder

Answer 7

b-Enthalpy
