What compositions and conditions of a system would help predict which of two systems has the greater entropy?

Entropy depends on the number of molecules and the number of states the molecules can be in. Therefore, the greater the number of molecules, the greater the amount of entropy. Also, the more complex the molecule, the greater the amount of entropy

Entropy is best determined by the amount of substance, the phase of the substance, and the complexity of the molecule.
