Isn't it possible to come up with a transformation of an ideal gas such that , where is the entropy of the gas? For example, if we remove heat from the gas (e.g., by bringing the gas into contact with a cold reservoir), doesn't that DECREASE the entropy of the gas?

Isn't it possible to come up with a transformation of an ideal gas such that LaTeX Code: dS < 0 , where LaTeX Code: S is the entropy of the gas? For example, if we remove heat LaTeX Code: dQ from the gas (e.g., by bringing the gas into contact with a cold reservoir), doesn't that DECREASE the entropy of the gas?

Dear nitin,

No problem with decreasing the entropy of something. But you have to increase the entropy of something else.

We are all IITians and here to help you in your IIT JEE preparation.

All the best.
