The direct conversion of A to B is difficult, hence it is carried out by the following shown path. Given Δ S ( A → C ) ​ = 50 eu , Δ S ( C → D ) ​ = 30 eu , Δ S ( B → D ) ​ = 20 eu where eu is entropy unit, then Δ S ( A → B ) ​ is

Given: Δ S ( A → C ) ​ = 50 eu , Δ S ( C → D ) ​ = 30 eu , Δ S ( B → D ) ​ = 20 eu where eu is entropy unit. Therefore, Δ S ( A → B ) ​ ​ = Δ S ( A → C ) ​ + Δ S ( C → D ) ​ + Δ S ( D → B ) ​ = Δ S ( A → C ) ​ + Δ S ( C → D ) ​ − Δ S ( B → D ) ​ = 50 + 30 − 20 = 60 eu ​
