Question

Indicate whether each statement is true or false. (a) The
second law of thermodynamics says that entropy is conserved.
(b) If the entropy of the system increases during a
reversible process, the entropy change of the surroundings
must decrease by the same amount. (c) In a certain spontaneous
process the system undergoes an entropy change of
4.2 J/K; therefore, the entropy change of the surroundings
must be -4.2 J/K.
