Msj Chem Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 The system usually refers to the chemical reaction itself with everything else being the surroundings (including the reaction mixture). So based on what you have written, the entropy of the system is the same as the entropy of the reaction. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your videos you say that the total entropy is equal to the entropy of the system + the entropy of the surroundings, so is it the same as saying the total entropy is equal to the entropy of the reaction + the entropy of the surroundings?

Msj Chem Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 If the reaction is the same as the system, then yes. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
