Imagine a chemist is in the lab and trying to make some chemical reactions happen. In one reaction she reacts chemicals in an exothermic reaction and there is an increase in entropy. A second chemical reaction she is trying to run is endothermic and there is a decrease in entropy. Which of the two reactions is more likely to occur and why?
