Answer:
▲Ssurroundings is +ve and greater than ▲Ssystem
Explanation:
The Second Law of
Thermodynamics
States that, a spontaneous process leads to an increase in the entropy of the universe. That is for a spontaneous process ∆Suniv > 0
or ▲Ssystem + ▲Ssurroundings > 0
Hence according to the Second Law of Thermodynamics when
▲Suniverse > 0, means that the process is spontaneous
▲Suniverse = 0 the process will not take place under ordinary condition
▲Suniverse < 0, The backward, opposite or alternate process occurs
spontaneously
Therefore since the process is spontaneous
∆Suniv = ▲Ssystem + ▲Ssurroundings > 0
However ▲Ssystem < 0
Therefore ▲Ssurroundings - ▲Ssystem
> 0 or
▲Ssurroundings > ▲Ssystem
Hence ▲Ssurroundings is +ve and greater than ▲Ssystem
