The second law of thermodynamics states that a spontaneous process increases the entropy of the universe, S univ >0. If Δ S univ <0, the process is nonspontaneous, and if Δ S univ = 0, the system is at equilibrium. The third law of thermodynamics establishes the zero for entropy as that of a perfect, pure crystalline solid at 0 K. With only one possible microstate, the entropy is zero. We may compute the standard entropy change for a process by using standard entropy values for the reactants and products involved in the process.

From the following information, determine for the following:
By calculating Δ
S
univ at each temperature, determine if the melting of 1 mole of NaCl(
s ) is spontaneous at 500 °C and at 700 °C.
What assumptions are made about the thermodynamic information (entropy and enthalpy values) used to solve this problem?
As Δ S univ <0 at each of these temperatures, melting is not spontaneous at either of them. The given values for entropy and enthalpy are for NaCl at 298 K. It is assumed that these do not change significantly at the higher temperatures used in the problem.
