~~Isn’t scrambled lower entropy? Like how dye in water moves from fully concentrated at one point to fully diffused throughout the water?~~
~~You had to do work to scramble them and now it would take a lot more energy to get them back to separate the white from the yolk so it looked like the hard boiled.~~
This is all completely wrong, I was thinking about Gibbs free energy decreasing with spontaneous reactions.
Ty, I had the same question
That’s what I get for being so old I forgot my thermo class
*Shakes fist at sky*
The main thing I remember from my thermodynamics classes is the day I broke the thermometer. Yup.
Lol. Closest I had to a thermo class was my AP chem in HS when the teacher told us all he was going to say about it is that it is incredibly complicated and whenever you think you've got it, you don't. He was a character.
