### Step-by-Step Solution **Step 1: Define Entropy and Free Energy** 1. **Entropy (ΔS)**: Entropy is a measure of the degree of randomness or disorder in a system. It is defined as the thermal energy of a system divided by the temperature at which the energy is transferred. In simpler terms, it quantifies how much energy in a system is unavailable to do work due to the disorder of the system. 2. **Free Energy (ΔG)**: Free energy, specifically Gibbs free energy, is the energy associated with a chemical reaction that can perform useful work at constant temperature and pressure. It is calculated using the formula: \[ ...
