1. What is the physicist’s term for the measure of energy dispersal?

2. Consider the decomposition of water (H2O) to form hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2). At room temperature, the products of this reaction have less entropy than the reactants. Is this reaction thermodynamically favored? Justify your answer.
