Concept introduction:
Spontaneous process indicates the changes of a system without an outside intervention, that means naturally and unaided.
In Spontaneous process, energy transfer from higher concentration to lower, or the energy is dispersed.
Entropy (S) is the quantity to measure the dispersal of energy in the spontaneous processes.
According to second law of
