Not at all. The First Law states that energy is conserved - you can't create energy out of nothing, or make it disappear. The Second Law distinguishes usable from unusable energy, and states that the amount of unusable energy will increase over time - but the total (usable plus unusable energy) will still remain constant.

ViviNo, the Second Law of Thermodynamics complements the First Law by providing information about the directionality and efficiency of energy transformations. The First Law states that energy is conserved in a system, while the Second Law explains the natural tendency of energy to disperse and increase entropy in a closed system over time.

What law of thermodynamics is unavailable for doing work?
"Unavailable for doing work" is related to the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
What is another name for the Law of Disorder?
Second Law of Thermodynamics
How many thermodynamics laws are there?
There are three laws of thermodynamics. The first law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. The second law states that heat naturally flows from hot to cold. The third law states that as temperature approaches absolute zero, the entropy of a perfect crystal approaches zero.
What law states that entropy tends to increase over time?
The Second Law of Thermodynamics.
When water becomes ice and the entropy decreases does this contradict the second law of thermodynamics?
No, the second law of thermodynamics allows for local decreases in entropy as long as there is a greater increase in the entropy of the surroundings, maintaining a net increase in total entropy. In the case of water freezing into ice, the decrease in entropy of the water molecules is accompanied by an increase in the entropy of the surroundings, such as the heat released to the environment.
