It isn't possible to change heat completely into work, with no other change taking place.
No system can convert energy from one form to another useful form with 100% efficiency.
It's not possible to transfer heat from an object at a lower temperature to another object at a higher temperature unless work is done.
APEX: Entropy of a system increases over time.

δQ = T dS (closed system, perfectly reversible process - which doesn't really exisit)
δQ < T dS (closed system, real, irreversible processes)
Rudolph Clausius:
Heat moves from areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature, following the principle of thermodynamics known as the second law of thermodynamics.
The fact that usable energy is always lost in an energy transfer is due to the second law of thermodynamics. This law states that entropy, or disorder, tends to increase over time in a closed system, leading to the loss of usable energy in the form of heat.
True
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. This implies that the total energy of a closed system remains constant. The second law of thermodynamics states that entropy, a measure of disorder, tends to increase over time in a closed system. Together, these laws suggest that it is impossible to create a perpetual motion machine or achieve 100% efficiency, indicating that one cannot "get ahead" or "break even" in terms of energy conservation.
Entropy is closely related to the 2nd law of thermodynamics, not the 1st law. The 1st law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted. Entropy, on the other hand, is a measure of the disorder or randomness of a system, which increases over time according to the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
"Unavailable for doing work" is related to the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

Second Law of Thermodynamics
The second law of thermodynamics can be expressed using different formulations including Carnot's principle, the Clausius statement, and the Kelvin-Planck statement. These laws essentially state that heat naturally flows from hot to cold objects and that it is impossible to create a heat engine with 100% efficiency.

True
There is no commonly accepted law by that name, as far as I know. Two important laws about energy are the First Law of Thermodynamics and the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. This implies that the total energy of a closed system remains constant. The second law of thermodynamics states that entropy, a measure of disorder, tends to increase over time in a closed system.

The second law does not allow complete conversion of heat into work.
The Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Entropy is closely related to the 2nd law of thermodynamics, not the 1st law. The 1st law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted. Entropy, on the other hand, is a measure of the disorder or randomness of a system, which increases over time according to the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
