[CHM 112] Entropy Calculations

[Andrew J. Pounds]

Yes -- those equations are found in the text.  In fact they are found on 
pages 789 and 790 of the text.

As you can see, using $\Delta S$ to determine spontaneity can get 
confusing because you have to explicitly know if you are talking about 
the system, the surrounding, or the universe.  Using $\Delta G$ makes 
this much simpler!
