<p>Hey Dr. Pounds,</p>
<p>I was working on my homework and I am on problem 22 in the
Burdge book. It asked us to calculate delta S(reaction) and
delta S(surroundings). I understand how to do the problem
itself, but where did you get the formula to calculate the
delta S of the surroundings? Is that just from reading the
chapter or something else?</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
