- Entropy is a measure of disturbance, higher the entropy with the positive sign, more are the chances of the reaction taking place spontaneously
\(S = \frac{{{\rm{Δ }}Q}}{T}\)
Where S is entropy, ΔQ is heat exchanged and T is temperature.
- The SI unit of Entropy is Joule per Kelvin (J/K).
- Heat exchange (Δ Q) is a type of energy.
- Joule (J) is the SI unit of Work or Energy.
- Kelvin is the SI unit of temperature
So SI unit of entropy (S) = Unit of energy/ Unit of temperature = J/K
Hence option 1 is correct.
