Sam is having a great deal of difficulty with thermodynamics, particularly when systems are not ideal. While eating pizza with a friend, he complains that he wishes all systems were ideal. She tells him that this would not be a good idea. Order a pizza and ponder this question: What would happen to the pizza and to you if Sam were to get his wish?
