It relates how much the energy transferred stimulates disordered motion in the surroundings.

Give the standard equation for entropy
dS= dq_rev/T

Define a 'spontaneous process'
Occurs naturally, without the input of work (determined by quality or distribution of energy in a system).

What is the second law of thermodynamics?
Any spontaneous process increases the disorder of the universe. << During a reversible process the entropy of the universe remains constant>> SO: ∆S_system +∆S_surroundings >= 0

What is the third law of thermodynamics?
The entropy of any element or compound in a perfect crystal at absolute zero temperature equals zero

Give an equation for entropy from statistics
S= K_B*ln(Ω) --> where Ω: number of micro-states or how many ways you can arrange the particles.
