Scientific convention - just historical and by agreement. Same with enthalpy = H but free energy G is after Gibbs.

What is Log S?

In mathematics, the logarithm function is denoted by "log". The base of the logarithm is typically specified, for example, "Log S" usually refers to the logarithm of S to a certain base (e.g., base 10 or base e).


What is the symbol for entropy?

The symbol for entropy is "S" in thermodynamics. It represents the measure of disorder or randomness in a system.

What is the formula to calculate deltaS?

Delta S= Sum of Entropy(products)- Sum of Entropy(reactants.


What is the unit of entropy and how is it measured in thermodynamics?

The unit of entropy is joules per kelvin (J/K) in thermodynamics. Entropy is measured by calculating the change in entropy (S) using the formula S Q/T, where Q is the heat transferred and T is the temperature in kelvin.


Is the change in entropy, delta S, positive or negative for a spontaneous reaction?

For a spontaneous reaction, the change in entropy (delta S) is typically positive.


How can one calculate the change in entropy in physics?

In physics, the change in entropy can be calculated using the formula S Q/T, where S represents the change in entropy, Q is the heat transferred, and T is the temperature in Kelvin.


Can delta s be negative Entropy?

yes


What is a sample that has greater entropy?

A Carnot cycle is a sample of something that has greater entropy. The word entropy can e defined s meaning reverse system. The concept of entropy was started with the work of Lazare Carnot.


What is the formula for calculating the entropy of surroundings in a thermodynamic system?

The formula for calculating the entropy of surroundings in a thermodynamic system is S -q/T, where S is the change in entropy, q is the heat transferred to or from the surroundings, and T is the temperature in Kelvin.


Denoted by the symbol s in a reaction?

Solid


What happens to the entropy in the reaction I2 s I2 g?

The entropy of the system increases during the sublimation of I2(s) to I2(g) because the randomness and disorder of the gas phase is higher compared to the solid phase. Therefore, the entropy of the reaction is positive.
