Entropy vs temp

[Azlyn Hernandez 2E]

Conceptually, why is Entropy so highly dependent on Temp?

It's a proportional relationship. Think of it this way: when you have a liquid and you increase heat, it will vaporize and there will be more disorder because it's broken up.

With a higher temperature, molecules move a lot more and there is more disorder as there are more possible arrangements of how the molecules could be.

Hi! I think entropy is dependent on temp because if entropy is a measure of disorder and temp can cause particles to move rapidly or slowly, then a change in temp will proportionally effect the entropy.

To put it into entropy related terms, temperature changes influence the kinetic energy and the distribution of particles within a system. This means that as the temperature increases, the number of accessible energy states and microstates of that system also increase, leading to more molecular disorder and higher entropy.
