The Second Law
Second Law of thermodynamics: Spontaneous changes are always accompanied by a
dispersal of energy.
• Example : a ball (the system) bouncing on a floor (the surroundings). The ball does not
rise as high after each bounce because there are inelastic losses in the materials of the ball
and floor, energy is spread out as thermal motion of the atoms of the floor.
• The reverse process is not spontaneous because it is highly improbable that energy will
become localized, leading to uniform motion of the ball’s atoms.
• A gas does not contract spontaneously because it localizing the energy.
• The Second Law of thermodynamics can be expressed in terms of the entropy (S): The
entropy of an isolated system increases in the course of a spontaneous change: ΔS tot > 0,
where Stot is the total entropy of the system and its surroundings.
• Second Law: In an isolated system the entropy cannot decrease when a spontaneous
change occurs.
(a) The thermodynamic definition of entropy
Heat stimulates random motion in the surroundings. On the other hand, work stimulates uniform
motion of atoms in the surroundings and so does not change their entropy.
The thermodynamic definition of entropy is based on the expression:
dS =
𝒅𝒒(𝒓𝒆𝒗)
𝐓
(3.1), ΔS = 𝑖
𝑓 𝒅𝒒(𝒓𝒆𝒗)
𝐓
(3.2)
Ex. 1: Calculate the change in entropy when 50 kJ of energy is transferred reversibly and
isothermally as heat to a large block of copper at (a) 0°C, (b) 70°C.
Example 1: Calculate the entropy change of a sample of perfect gas when it expands
isothermally from a volume Vi to a volume Vf .
Perfect gas can be calculated from ΔU = q + w and ΔU = 0, which implies that q=− w
• Because the temperature of the surroundings is constant whatever the change, for a
measurable change, so ΔSsur = qsur/Tsur (3.3b) whre qsur is the heat transferred and
Tsur is the temperature at which the transfer takes place.
• For adiabatic change qSur = 0 so ΔSsur = 0 (3.4) and the same for the gas.
• ΔS of the gas is a state function, but of the surrounding is not
Entropy changes accompanying
specific processes, a. Expansion
The change in entropy of a perfect gas that expands
isothermally from Vi to Vf is
(3.13)°
• Because S is a state function, the
value of ΔS of the system is
independent of the path between
the initial and final states, so this
expression applies whether the
change of state occurs reversibly
or irreversibly.
• The total change in entropy,
however, does depend on how
the expansion takes place. For
any reversible process dqsur =
−dq, so we can conclude that
ΔStot = 0
• If the isothermal expansion occurs freely (w = 0) and irreversibly, then q = 0 (because ΔU =
0). Consequently, ΔSsur = 0, and the total entropy change is given by eqn 3.13 itself:
In this case, ΔStot > 0, as we expect
for an irreversible process.
(b) Phase transition
• When a substance vaporizes, a compact condensed phase changes into a widely dispersed gas
and we can expect the entropy of the substance to increase considerably. The entropy of a solid
also increases when it melts to a liquid and when that liquid turns into a gas.
• At the transition temperature, any transfer of energy as heat between the system and its
surroundings is reversible, because the two phases in the system are in equilibrium. Because at
constant pressure q = ΔtrsH, the change in molar entropy of the system is
ΔStrs = ΔtrsH/Ttrs (3.16)
• If the phase transition is exothermic (ΔtrsH< 0, as in freezing or condensing), then the
entropy change is negative.
A wide range of
liquids give
approximately the
same standard
entropy of
vaporization (about
85 J K-1 mol-1): this
empirical
observation is called
Trouton’s rule.
C. Heating : We shall be particularly interested in the entropy change when the system is
subjected to constant pressure (such as from the atmosphere) during the heating. Then, from the
definition of constant-pressure heat capacity (eqn 2.22), dqrev = CpdT provided the system is doing
no non-expansion work. Consequently, at constant pressure:
The same expression applies at constant volume, but with Cp replaced by CV. When Cp is
independent of temperature in the temperature range of interest, it can be taken outside the
integral and we obtain
For any adiabatic reversible process q = 0 and so ΔS = 0
q from electric heating of resistant = IVt = I2Rt (V= IR).
d. The measurement of entropy
For example, if a substance melts at Tf and boils at Tb, then its entropy above its boiling
temperature is given by
When T is close to 0 °K,
(Debye extrapolation),
Cp = aT3.
