What is Entropy S ?

J/K
a measure of disorder or randomness in a system and thus the uncertainty or unpredictability pf data.
quantifies the number of ways microscopic components can be arranged.
Higher entropy means more disorder.

What is the second law of thermodynamics ?

if a process is applied : Consider a certain amount of gas enclosed in a cylinder–piston chamber and an external compressive force is applied on the piston to decrease the chamber’s volume

In a closed system, the entropy of the system increases for irreversible processes

It remains constant for reversible processes and never decreases
