Big Idea 2: Term 14

Entropy: Entropy can be measured as the amount of disorder
in a system. In exergonic reactions, energy is being released (in 
the case of this match, as heat), so there is less free energy
available to be used for work. There is greater disorder after
energy is released, so this reaction increases entropy.
