Since an entropy is a state function, the entropy change of the system for an irreversible path is the same as for a reversible path between the same two states. [22] However, the heat transferred to or from the surroundings is different as well as its entropy change. We can calculate the change of entropy only by integrating the above formula.
In the case of an ideal gas, the heat capacity is constant and the ideal gas law PV = nRT gives that α V V = V/T = nR/p, with n the number of moles and R the molar ideal-gas constant. So, the molar entropy of an ideal gas is given by (,) = (,) + . In this expression C P now is the molar heat capacity. The entropy of inhomogeneous ...

The entropy of the surrounding room decreases less than the entropy of the ice and water increases: the room temperature of 298 K is larger than 273 K and therefore the ratio, (entropy change), of δQ / 298 K for the surroundings is smaller than the ratio (entropy change), of δQ / 273 K for the ice and water system. This is ...
Isotherms of an ideal gas for different temperatures. The curved lines are rectangular hyperbolae of the form y = a/x. They represent the relationship between pressure (on the vertical axis) and volume (on the horizontal axis) for an ideal gas at different temperatures: lines that are farther away from the origin (that is, lines that are nearer to the top right-hand corner of the diagram ...
If the calorically perfect gas approximation is used, then the ideal gas law may also be expressed as follows = where is the number density of the gas (number of atoms/molecules per unit volume), = / is the (constant) adiabatic index (ratio of specific heats), = is the internal energy per unit mass (the "specific internal energy"), is the ...
The Van 't Hoff equation relates the change in the equilibrium constant, K eq, of a chemical reaction to the change in temperature, T, given the standard enthalpy change, Δ r H ⊖, for the process. The subscript r {\displaystyle r} means "reaction" and the superscript ⊖ {\displaystyle \ominus } means "standard".
To highlight the fact that order and disorder are commonly understood to be measured in terms of entropy, below are current science encyclopedia and science dictionary definitions of entropy: A measure of the unavailability of a system's energy to do work; also a measure of disorder; the higher the entropy the greater the disorder.
