Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the Concept of Disorder or Randomness

The question is asking for a term that measures disorder or randomness. In thermodynamics and information theory, this concept is commonly referred to as "entropy."

Step 2: Identify the Correct Term

Among the given options:

  • Entropy is the measure of disorder or randomness in a system.
  • Enthalpy is a measure of total heat content in a system.
  • Calorimetry is the process of measuring the heat of chemical reactions or physical changes.
  • Internal energy is the total energy contained within a system.
  • Hess's law is a principle stating that the total enthalpy change in a reaction is the same regardless of the number of steps in the reaction.

Final Answer

The term that measures disorder or randomness is \(\boxed{\text{Entropy}}\).
