Edexcel IAL Chemistry A2 12.6 Total entropy change
Pearson Edexcel IAL Chemistry syllabusChemistry YCH11First assessment 2019

Write ΔStotal = ΔSsystem + ΔSsurroundings, convert kJ and J before adding and retain the sign and J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹ units in the final value.

How this is tested

  • Calculate ΔStotal by adding system and surroundings entropy changes with signs and units.
  • Rearrange the total-entropy equation to find a missing system or surroundings value.
