Document Summary

Spontaneous process: a process that proceeds without outside intervention. Second law of thermodynamics: the principle that the total entropy of the universe increases in any spontaneous process. Entropy (s): a measure of how dispersed the energy in a system is at a specific temperature. Accessible microstate: a unique arrangement of the positions and momenta of the particles in a thermodynamic system. Third law of thermodynamics: the principle that the entropy of a perfect crystal is zero at absolute zero. Standard molar entropy ( (cid:4667): the absolute entropy of 1 mole of a substance in its standard state. Reversible process: a process that happens so slowly that an incremental change can be reversed by another tiny change, restoring the original state of the system with no net flow of energy between the system and its surroundings. Free energy: a measure of the maximum amount of work a thermodynamic system can perform.
