Text Solution

Verified by Experts

This law state that all spontaneous processes or naturally occuring proceses are thermodynamically irreversible. This law can also be stated in terms of entropy that the entropy of universe always increases in the course of every spontaneous (natural) process i.e., `Delta S_("universe") gt 0`.
