Discuss the second law of thermodynamics, which is a process that results in an increase of entropy. Discuss heat as the random motion of particles and that potential energy is dispersed when converted to thermal. Use q to represent heat, T to represent temperature in Kelvin and delta S to represent the change in entropy. Define the formula S + q/T in joules/kelvinb.
First we will review the homework assignment. That will be followed by a few more examples including the average value of a function. We will then do integration by substitution and examples of this process.

Lesson Comments
We had a very good session today. Josh has a good understanding of integrals, areas, and the theorems involved.
I continued instruction on writing an AP style interpretative essay by reviewing Joshua's essay homework from last evening. As we had already created a thesis ,I first demonstrated how to complete a first paragraph by establishing a line of reasoning or preview of the techniques that will provide the evidence in the body of the essay. After we reviewed the body of Joshua's essay , I demonstrated how to add cohesive commentary so as to avoid merely summarizing the passage. We further discussed how to interpret the passage evidence in a manner that supports the thesis . Last, I provided ideas regarding how to draft a brief conclusion that broadens the essay thesis.
Review some common exothemic reactions and note have a negative heat of reaction and are spontaneous reactions . Present a few endothermic reactions, specifically the melting of ice which has a positive heat of reaction. Demonstrate and discuss the direction of heat flow in that system. Elicit that the flow transfers heat energy from hot to cold. Determine the energy is transferred from the surroundings to the system. State that the evolution of heat energy is not sufficient to determine spontaneity. Discuss the first law of thermodynamics and how energy transferred as heat proceeds from higher concentration to a more dispersed system. Quantify this function of dispersed heat energy as entropy by being able to give it a number.
