It is a process that favors the formation of products at the conditions under which the reaction is occurring.

It is a process that does not favor the formation of products at the given set of conditions.

It can be thought of as a measure of the disorder of a system.

He coined the term "entropy" in 1865

What is the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics?

• Two systems in equilibrium with a third system are in thermal equilibrium with each other.

• Energy can change forms, but is neither created nor destroyed.

• The entropy of the universe (closed system) is always increasing.

• Entropy of a system approaches a constant as temperature approaches absolute zero.

measured in joules per Kelvin. (S)

describes the internal energy of a system. (H)

a phenomenon where heat flowing from a hotter body to a colder body will eventually lead to a point where all of the atoms in the universe are thermally equilibrium

tells us about the spontaneity of a process. (G)
