Click, click, click - you picture has been taken! Our episode starts with describing entropy with respect to the dispersal of matter and compares it to the snapshots or microstates (0:30). The phase changes are examples of increases of dispersal of matter (1:06). Entropy can also be defined as an increase of the dispersal of energy and therefore we tie it to KMT (3:50). The change in entropy can be calculated by subtracting the sum of the entropy of the reactants from the sum of the entropy of products (4:53).
