Chemistry Question on Thermodynamics
Considering entropy (S) as a thermodynamic parameter, the criterion for the spontaneity of any process is
A
∆Ssystem – ∆Ssurrounding > 0
B
∆Ssystem > 0 only (3) ∆Ssurroundings > O on
C
∆Ssurrounding > 0
D
∆Ssystem + ∆Ssurrounding > 0
Answer
∆Ssystem + ∆Ssurrounding > 0
Explanation
Solution
Considering entropy (S) as a thermodynamic parameter, the criterion for the spontaneity of any process is: ΔS > 0.
