    Graduate Temperature CONFUSION in derivation for Helmholtz Free Energy

    Dear all, I have been spending 12 hours on this and cannot seem to come up with a solution. We derive Helmholtz Free Energy (A) from the second law of thermodynamics. dS(Total) = dS(system) + dS(surrounds) we try to express dS(surrounds) with properties of the system. Assuming...
