Are temperature and entropy directly proportional and what is the change in entropy directly proportional to?
A direct proportionality would mean dS/dT = const. However, dS/dT = C/T (C: heat capacity, isochoric or isobaric, depending on your problem). C is usually temperature-dependent. So a direct proportionality could only happen if C were proportional to T. Unlikely!
Heat added to a system at a lower temperature causes greater randomness than in comparison to when heat is added to it at a higher temperature. Thus, the entropy change is inversely proportional to the temperature of the system. The number of moles: Similar to molar mass, entropy increases with an increase in the number of moles of molecules. Therefore, entropy is directly proportional to the number of moles in a system. The change in entropy (delta S) is equal to the heat transfer (delta Q) divided by the temperature (T). For a given physical process, the entropy of the system and the environment will remain a constant if the process can be reversed. Its right that when a system absorbs heat , the molecules start moving faster because kinetic energy increases but for the same amount of energy absorbed at low temperature , the disorder is more than at higher temperature. This shows that entropy is inversely proportional to temperature.Entropy always increases with temperature, but it is not directly proportional to temperature. The entropy of a substance increases with temperature, and it does so for two reasons: As the temperature rises, more microstates become accessible, allowing thermal energy to be more widely dispersed. This is reflected in the gradual increase of entropy with temperature. Its entropy increases because heat transfer occurs into it. Entropy is a measure of disorder. The change in entropy is positive, because heat transfers energy into the ice to cause the phase change. This is a significant increase in entropy, because it takes place at a relatively low temperature.
Entropy (S) is a thermodynamic property of all substances that is proportional to their degree of disorder. The greater the number of possible microstates for a system, the greater the disorder and the higher the entropy. The change in entropy (delta S) is equal to the heat transfer (delta Q) divided by the temperature (T). For a given physical process, the entropy of the system and the environment will remain a constant if the process can be reversed. Thus, the entropy change is inversely proportional to the temperature of the system. Since all temperature values are positive in the Kelvin scale, the temperature affects the magnitude of the entropy term and “Spontaneity and the Signs of Enthalpy and Entropy Terms,” the temperature can be the deciding factor in spontaneity when the enthalpy and entropy terms have opposite signs. Entropy is directly proportional to temperature. Every system tries to acquire maximum state of randomness or disorder. Entropy is a measure of unavailable energy. Unavailable energy = Entropy × Temperature The ratio of Entropy of Vaporization and boiling point of a substance remains almost constant. In a chemical reaction, when we increase temperature of any substance, molecular motion increase and so does entropy. Conversely, if the temperature of a substance is lowered, molecular motion decrease, and entropy should decreases. Systems at a higher temperature, where molecules move faster on average, have a greater number of possible microstates for how the kinetic energy is distributed, so entropy increases with temperature. We can apply the second law of thermodynamics to chemical reactions by noting that the entropy of a system is a state function that is directly proportional to the disorder of the system. Thus, the entropy change is inversely proportional to the temperature of the system. So, entropy increases with a decrease in pressure and decreases with an increase in pressure. Volume since pressure and volume are inversely proportional to each other at a given temperature, the entropy relationship also holds inversely.
A proportionality to 1/T implies that the heat capacity does not depend on temperature. This is possible (e.g., for a noble gas at low pressure), but not generally true.
