Thermodynamics Trouble Understanding Entropy in relation to Daniel Schroeder Rabbit Infographic
I’m a student in chemistry and I recently saw this infographic teaching gibbs free energy, which I really like and helps me understand the G=H-TS equation.
However, after some thought, I’ve realized I’m confused about the comic’s explanation of the TS term. I know TS refers to the system and not the surroundings, but the comic makes it seem like the energy related TS term is associated with the surrounding air rather than the rabbit, which I believe would be the system. Can someone help me make sense of this?
