What is entropy?
What is meant by a chemical system having low entropy or high entropy?
What is the relationship between disorder, energy and entropy?
If you are asking these questions, then you will find AUS-e-TUTE's new entropy introductory tutorial, game and test very helpful! AUS-e-TUTE Members should log in to use these new resources (under the topic heading Thermodynamics in the Test Centre).

Chemistry Rockets to Mars
NASA is developing the most powerful rocket in history, the Space Launch System (abbreviated to SLS) to launch the spacecraft known as Orion. Orion is expected to carry humans beyond the Moon and on to Mars in the 2030s.
It is well known that engineers, physicists, mathematicians and computer programmers play a quintessential part in the design, development, launch, trajectory and landing of rockets and spacecraft, but what about chemists?
Chemistry also plays an important role in getting rockets off the ground.
Without an understanding of chemistry there would be no fuel, no thrust, no take-off!
