[Phys-L] Entropy as a state function...


I just want to confirm my understanding of entropy.
* The system entropy is a state function.
* For any arbitrary process, the universe and surroundings entropy
are not state functions.
* For a reversible process, the universe and surroundings entropy are
state functions.

Thanks,
Dr. Roy Jensen
