Study Notes
Second Law of Thermodynamics
- Heat flows spontaneously from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature.
- The second law of thermodynamics predicts whether processes are spontaneous or non-spontaneous.
- The concept of entropy is established as a physical property by the second law of thermodynamics.
- The second law of thermodynamics allows for the process of a cup falling off a table and breaking on the floor, which is an irreversible process.
- The irreversibility of natural processes is accounted for by the increase in combined entropy of the system and its surroundings.
