Answer:

Green food coloring diffusing through cookie dough.

Step-by-step explanation:

Entropy is a physical quantity for an equilibrium thermodynamic system that measures the degree of organization of the system, or that is the ratio of an increase in internal energy to an increase in temperature of the system.

When the green dye diffuses through the cookie dough there is an increase in entropy, that is, there is an increase in system disorder at the molecular level, where a change in cookie dough occurs.
