Can you explain this better? http://www.pinterest.com/pin/531424824754707115/

OpenStudy (adamaero):

Will fan & review if you can give a metaphor.

OpenStudy (surry99):

yes I can...start by writing the chemical equation

OpenStudy (adamaero):

1.6 J/K = 22 J/K - 20.4 J/K univ = system + surroundings

OpenStudy (surry99):

The chemical equation...looks like you are dealing with a phase change for water... ex: H2O (s) at 273K----->?

OpenStudy (adamaero):

What? I don't care about an answer. I just want to understand it conceptually.

OpenStudy (surry99):

That is what I am trying to teach you the concept. However in Chemistry, virtually everything starts with an equation.

OpenStudy (adamaero):

Ok I will just assume it's about the equation. I got that part anyway.
