Match these terms with their definitions. 1. measure of disorder entropy 2. the study of energy conversions first law of thermodynamics 3. conservation of energy when heat is added the kinetic and potential energy of the molecules of a substance 4. disorder increasing second law of thermodynamics 5. reaching a state of total disorder maximum entropy 6. internal energy thermodynamics
What you've written is a little confusing. However, entropy is commonly referred to as a "measure of disorder." The first law of thermodynamics summarizes to "Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can change form." Which is the conservation of energy, but also states that energy can go between different forms, such as kinetic and potential. The second law of thermodynamics states that entropy in an isolated system will increase or stay the same, not decrease. Without clarification on the rest, I'm not sure exactly what to say.
