Question

What is delta S and delta H?

Answer 1

Delta S

1. Delta S $\left(∆\mathrm{S}\right)$ is denoted as the entropy change.

1. Entropy is a measure of the degree of randomness or the degree of disorder in a given system.
2. Therefore, if in a system after a certain period the entropy increase $∆\mathrm{S}$ will be positive.
3. However, if the entropy of a system decreases after a period of time , the value of $∆\mathrm{S}$ becomes negative.

Delta H

1. Delta H $\left(∆\mathrm{H}\right)$ used to denote the enthalpy change.
2. Enthalpy is a measure of the total amount of energy bound by a system.
3. If the $∆\mathrm{H}$ is positive, then the total amount of energy bound by a system have increased.
4. Whereas if $∆\mathrm{H}$ is negative, the net energy bound by the system have decreased.
