If entropy is expressed by terms of order and disorder and the 2LOT makes reference to entropy then surely 2LOT is expressed in the same terms.
Well, yes.
But.........
You need to be
very careful to define
all the terms.
In this case, "order" is defined as "a system under constant pressure with a small number of accessible microstates". "Disorder" is defined as "a system under constant pressure with a large number of accessible microstates". A "microstate" is defined as "a particular set of values for velocity and position of the atoms or molecules that make up the system". A cold solid crystal has many fewer accessible microstate than the same matter heated to a gas. In particular, a microstate is
not a particular arrrangement of macroscopic objects. See
