change
▪
So how do we calculate the entropy change of the surroundings?
▪
Thus during a chemical reaction there is always an entropy change .
▪
The Gibbs free energy change therefore takes into account the enthalpy change of a reaction system and its entropy change.
EXAMPLES FROM CORPUS
▪
But how does entropy help us to predict whether a change will take place or not?
▪
During this spontaneous process, the entropy of the system therefore increases.
▪
Energy is thus dispersed and so we might expect an increase in entropy and not a decrease.
▪
Eventually the limit is reached where no further packing would be possible and where the configurational entropy therefore vanishes.
▪
So how do we calculate the entropy change of the surroundings?
▪
The entropy of gases is much higher than the entropy of solids.
▪
They saw disorder steadily growing, like a baby, and called this entropy .
▪
They therefore have a higher entropy after mixing.
