Key Concepts

Entropy

Entropy is a thermodynamic property that measures the degree of disorder or randomness in a system. It reflects how energy is dispersed within a system and increases when heat is added or when the system transitions to a state with higher molecular freedom.

Phase Transitions

Phase transitions are changes between different states of matter, such as from solid to liquid (melting) or liquid to gas (boiling). During these transitions, the substance absorbs latent heat at a constant temperature, leading to abrupt increases in entropy despite the temperature remaining unchanged.

Latent Heat

Latent heat is the energy absorbed or released by a substance during a phase transition at a constant temperature. This energy input causes a discontinuous jump in entropy because it facilitates the change in the internal arrangement of particles without a corresponding change in temperature.
