What is the unit for entropy?

[SitharaMenon2B]

The units are usually listed as Joules per Kelvin (J.K^-1)

[Amanda Mac 1C]

The units are Joules per Kelvin (J/K).

[Brigitte Phung 1F]

The units end up being J/K as kB = 1.381 x 10^-23 J.K^-1 and also ΔS = nRln(V2/V1) cancels out into J.K^-1.

Joules per Kelvin (J/K)

[Sarah 2F]

(j/k)

[Sarah Sharma 2J]

When completing the math, usually the way the problem is set up will allow for the units to cancel out to being J/K (joules per kelvin), this can be used as another way of testing if the problem is correct!

[Lily Guo 1D]

The units are J/K (Joules per Kelvin)!

[Adrian Lim 1G]

The units are J/K, but if you forget, it could be helpful to write out the units and then see which cancel and what you're left with.

[Arshpreet Sandhu 1B]

J/K or J x K^-1

[Amy Zheng 2l]

J/K

[Maria1E]

The units are Joules per Kelvin, or J/K.
