The Entropy Criterion for Chemical Equilibrium: An Exercise in the Second Law.
Smith, Norman O.
Journal of Chemical Education, v62 n1 p50-53 Jan 1985
Describes an exercise in which the entropy maximum is illustrated with a chemical example. The exercise allows students to work with an isolated, chemically reactive system and shows that the entropy of a nonisolated system can pass through a maximum but does so at a nonequilibrium point. (JN)
