    The document discusses the second and third laws of thermodynamics. The second law states that the entropy of an isolated system always increases over time, while the third law establishes that entropy approaches a constant value as temperature approaches absolute zero. Real-world examples of each law are given, such as a cup of tea cooling and wood burning. The document also defines entropy as a measure of possible atomic arrangements and uncertainty, and lists tables on standard entropy and Gibbs free energy that are included in the full document.

    1. The Second and Third law of Thermodynamics

    Second Law of Thermodynamics states that the state of entropy of the entire universe, as an isolated
    system, will always increase over time. The changes in the entropy in the universe can never be negative.

    Third law of thermodynamic states that as the temperature of a system approaches absolute zero, its
    entropy becomes constant, or the change in entropy is zero. It predicts the properties of a system and the
    behavior of entropy in a unique environment known as absolute temperature.

    2. Real life application of the Second and Third law of Thermodynamics.

    2nd Law of Thermodynamics

    A cup of tea going cold

    Wood burns into ash

    3rd Law of thermodynamics

    Used to calculate absolute entropies and chemical affinity of substance

    Utilized in adiabatic cooling or cryogenics.

    3. Definition of Entropy

    Entropy is also a measure of the number of possible arrangements the atoms in a system can have. In
    this sense, entropy is a measure of uncertainty or randomness.
