How did the first peoples know which foods were safe to eat? Excellent question! Food historians make educated guesses based on ancient records and modern practices.
When water freezes its entropy decreases. This does not violate the second law of thermodynamics. The second law does not say that entropy can never decrease anywhere. It just says that the total entropy of the universe can never decrease.he entropy increases whenever heat flows from a hot object to a cold object. It increases when ice melts, water is heated, water boils, water evaporates. The entropy increases when a gas flows from a container under high pressure into a region of lower pressure.
Too many people use chaos in relation to entropy). Level of disorder from least to most is solid, liquid, gas. Therefore as Ice melts its disorder increases. Therefore its entropy is increasing also. I found a good source on this topic.Helped me to understand it all.
