WHY? A doubt from chemistry (simple....bt m nt getting it)

when eggs are boiled......why delta S is positive.....i asked it to many ppl..........hope i'll get a satisfactory answer here.....:) i know the site is meant for phy and math...bt plzzz help.....

plzzz answer i need it urgently...........plzzz thanking in advance....i request

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

You are forgetting something. The yolk undergoes chemical reactions to reach that solid state, so you have to take into account the entropy change from breaking some bonds and creating some new ones. I don't claim to have the answer, but when it comes down to such complicated systems, it's not all about random motion.

does this degree of randomness depends over state..........????????????? ....plzzz help...

My guess is that, if you assume that the egg is full, and that its shell is unbreakable, use the 1st law of thermodynamics: dU=TdS-PdV, dV=0 so dU=TdS. Intuitively, U increases as temperature increases. So the change in entropy will be also positive.

bt my doubt..is delta S is degree of randomness of a thing......rite......they say..that as temprature increases the randomness increases bt my do ubt..is on heating the egg yolk solidifies how a particle of egg yolk can perform random motion then.....y it can't b -ve...
