Entropy: Embrace the Chaos! Crash Course Chemistry #20

Life is chaos and the universe tends toward disorder. But why? If you think about it, there are only a few ways for things to be arranged in an organized manner, but there are nearly infinite other ways for those same things to be arranged. Simple rules of probability dictate that it's much more likely for stuff to be in one of the many disorganized states than in one of the few organized states. This tendency is so unavoidable that it's known as the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. Obviously, disorder is a pretty big deal in the universe and that makes it a pretty big deal in chemistry - it's such a big deal that scientists have a special name for it: entropy. In chemistry, entropy is the measure of molecular randomness, or disorder. For the next thirteen minutes, Hank hopes you will embrace the chaos as he teaches you about entropy.

You people are best, the only thing I struggle with is your pace of speech, its too fast or you just have made this for English speaking people. I strongly suggest that you should slow down your pace of talking so we people can better understand.
Thank you.

entrphy explain why this reaction would happen in room temperature but not at 10 kelvin, ha i understood, Gibbs energy says this reaction is spontationus or not, Entrphy says this reaction is energytially stable at this temperature or not. thanks

So the major point I learned is more moles most likely equals increased entropy and less moles most likely equals decreased entropy. Hmmm I know how to keep my backyard looking pretty now.

i thought watching this before opening textbook will help me understand more but apparently not. out of all the chemistry vids so far, this is the exception. such chaos

How can we really say that entropy in the universe increases with each chemical reaction when life in the universe formed chemically after the big bang
