Entropy unit

Unit of energy per mole per temperature

The entropy unit is a non-S.I. unit of thermodynamic entropy, usually denoted "e.u." or "eU" and equal to one calorie per kelvin per mole, or 4.184 joules per kelvin per mole.[1] Entropy units are primarily used in chemistry to describe enthalpy changes.
