Preferred Label : entropy;
Detailed label : entropy, S;
IUPAC definition : Quantity the change in which is equal to the heat brought to the system in a reversible
process at constant temperature divided by that temperature. Entropy is zero for an
ideally ordered crystal at 0 K. In statistical thermodynamics \[S k\ \ln W\] where
k is the Boltzmann constant and W the number of possible arrangements of the system.;
