The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of any isolated system always increases.
The second law of thermodynamics is stated in two ways, which are:
– Kelvin - Plank Statement – Clausius Statement
The number of possible arrangements of atoms in a system can have, is measured by entropy.
It is important to understand that two changes in entropy must be recognized to understand why entropy increases and decreases.
The sum of the change in entropy of the system and its surroundings is equal to the total entropy change.
Gibbs free energy is defined as the amount of energy for a system that can be converted into useful work. The equation of Gibbs free energy is represented as
The second law can be found around us at all times and it is the most important and broad principle in science.
The second law of thermodynamics is applied in the explanation of the earth age.
