Now it is the measure of disorder. This order could also be called randomness or chaos that exists within a system, surroundings and universe. When we say system, we're just talking about a chemical reaction or an object of focus. The surroundings is everything else. Together they form ...
The calculated results show that the earth system obtains a net influx of negative entropy (-1179.3 mWm-2K-1) from its surroundings, and the atmosphere and the ocean systems obtain a net input of negative entropy at about -537.4 mWm-2K-1 and -555.6 mWm-2K-1, respectively. Calculations of...
What makes their use acceptable is that the entropy of system plus surroundings remains constant in reversible processes but increases in irreversible ones, whereas energy is always conserved and therefore constant (see for instance this post in Physics SE about the non-conservative nature of entropy)...

Note emphasis on “system” since entropy generated may be passed to the surroundings in the form of heat. However, if there is no heat transfer with the surrounding the process is adiabatic and any entropy generated due to irreversible work will be retained in the system. In this special ...
ConclusionThe maximization of entropy in the universe (system plus surroundings) is equivalent to minimization ofUUin the system under the condition thatSS,VVandNNof the system remain constant. The last result we can write as dU=−T1|dS|+T2|dS|≤0.dU=−T1|dS|+T2|dS|≤0. ...
How to describe enthalpy change in terms of exothermic and endothermic reactions? Calculate the entropy of the surroundings for a reaction with an enthalpy of reaction of -25.6 kJ at 298 K. What is the change in enthalpy in kilojoules when 2.30 mol of Mg solid is completely reacted according...
The change in free energy with temperature at constant pressure of a chemical reaction is determined by the sum (dS) of changes in entropy of the system of reagents, dSi, and the additional entropy change of the surroundings, dSH, that results from the enthalpy change, dH. A faulty identifi...
A reaction has ΔH°rxn = -112 kJ and ΔS°rxn = 354 J/K. At what temperature is the change in entropy for the reaction equal to the change in entropy for the surroundings? Textbook Question Which of these processes is sp...
This investigation first introduces the concept of an isolated embedding system, which embeds an open system, e.g., dissipative structure and its mass and/or energy exchange with its surroundings. Thereafter, scale-invariant theoretical analysis is presented using thermodynamic principles forOrdercreation...
