Entropy
Extent of randomness in a system or with the extent to which energy is distributed among the various motions of the molecules of the system.
ΔS
Sfinal - Sinitial

For an isothermal process:
ΔS = qrev/T

ΔS for phase changes:
ΔS = ΔHfusion/vap/T

Second Law of Thermodynamics
Reversible Process:
ΔSuniv = ΔSsurr + ΔSsys = 0

Irreversible Process:
ΔSuniv = ΔSsurr + ΔSsys > 0
State Functions
Properties that define a state and do not depend on how we reach that state.
