## Entropy and Pressure

Volume: $\Delta S = nR\ln \frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}}$
Temperature: $\Delta S = nC\ln \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}$

### Entropy and Pressure

When pressure increases, does entropy decrease? If so can someone please explain why? Thanks in advance.

I think that when pressure increases, volume decreases and when volume decreases entropy also decreases.

Yes! When pressure increases, entropy decreases because volume decreases.

### Re: Entropy and Pressure

Entropy increases as a system gets bigger, meaning that the opposite is also true (a smaller volume means entropy decreases). When we are talking about pressure and temperature we are usually talking about a closed system with a piston, so if a piston compresses and increases pressure, volume is decreased and entropy is therefore also decreased
