U for isolated system
Constant
2nd law of thermodynamics
Entropy of isolated system tends to increase
Isothermal
Constant temp
Entropy is a
State function
Why ΔSvap»_space; ΔSfus
From liquid to gas there’s large change in volume so molecules can move freely at higher speeds
ΔS between reactants and products
ΔSsys
Why does solvation decrease entropy
Water is polar ad will be bound by ions, forms salvation cage which restricts movement so order increases and entropy decreases
Adiabatic
At constant heat
3rd law of thermodynamics
Perfect crystal at T = 0K has 0 entropy
