Chapter 18, Problem 18.17QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The maximum value of the entropy change of the surroundings of the given non spontaneous reaction is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: Entropy is a thermodynamic property which shows the randomness or disorder of the atoms within the system.

$\Delta S_{\text{sys}}$ is known as the entropy change for a system and $\Delta S_{\text{univ}}$ is entropy change in the universe.

$\Delta S_{\text{surr}}$ is known as entropy change for a surrounding.

To determine: The maximum value of the entropy change of the surroundings of the given non spontaneous reaction.
